This adds an extra layer of protection when logging into Confluence, requiring users to verify their identity using a second factor such as a U2F device or a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP). In addition to secure login options, users can customize their authentication settings, set up backup methods, and define authentication policies to meet their security requirements. Atlassian Access provides a centralized platform for managing user authentication across connected applications like Jira and Confluence, ensuring a seamless and secure login experience for all users. With options for self-managed enrollment, user compliance, and strong access protection, Confluence 2FA offers a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to enhance their security levels.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\n&#8211; Atlassian Documentation &#8211; support.atlassian.com<\/p>\n<p>Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security protocol that adds an extra layer of security to the login process for Confluence users. With 2FA enabled, users are required to provide not only their password but also a second form of authentication, such as a 6-digit code from a mobile authenticator app, before gaining access to their account. This helps protect against unauthorized access, particularly for external users accessing Confluence from various IP addresses or IP ranges. The use of elliptic curve technology and the SecSign ID Two-Factor Authentication system further enhances security by providing a customizable login process and two-step authentication. Confluence offers this advanced security feature for both its Data Center and Cloud versions, ensuring effective Confluence user management and adherence to security policies.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8220;What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?&#8221; by Duo Security<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8220;How Confluence uses 2FA for Secure User Login&#8221; by Atlassian<\/p>\n<p>Confluence 2FA, short for Confluence Two-Factor Authentication, is a security feature that requires users to provide two forms of verification before accessing their Confluence account. This helps enhance the security of login sessions and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. Users can enable 2FA for their Confluence account by configuring it in the security settings, where they can choose from various authentication methods such as password, key code generator, Duo Push Notification, and OTP Auth. Confluence 2FA supports multi-factor authentication, offering the strongest protection for user accounts. It can be used with Confluence Data Center, Confluence Cloud, and other Atlassian products like Jira or Atlassian Crowd. When users log in, they may receive a prompt to verify their identity through a second factor, such as entering a code sent to their email address or mobile device. This additional layer of security helps prevent unauthorized access to Confluence and ensures that only legitimate users can access the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\n&#8211; Atlassian: What is two-factor authentication and how does it work? atlassian.com<\/p>\n<p>Confluence 2FA, or two-factor authentication, adds an extra layer of security to the login process for users accessing the Confluence platform. This authentication method requires users to provide not only their password but also a second form of verification, such as a code generated by an authentication app or received via SMS. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information and protects against potential security breaches. Implementing 2FA for Confluence can be done through various methods, including using authentication apps like Duo or TOTP, setting up corporate email address verification, or enabling two-step verification for added security. With the rise of cyber threats and data breaches, implementing 2FA in Confluence is crucial for ensuring the protection of user accounts and sensitive data stored within the platform. <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.atlassian.com\/vendors\/1213308\/miniorange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sources<\/a>: Atlassian Confluence Documentation, Duo Security Website.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #cccccc;\">\n<th style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em;\">Data<\/th>\n<th style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em;\">Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f0f8ff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">2-factor authentication<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Enhanced security with two verification steps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">IP address<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Unique identifier for devices on a network<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f0f8ff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Confluence Templates<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Pre-designed layouts for content creation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Duo authentication<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Two-step verification using Duo app<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f0f8ff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Bluink Key<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Physical key for secure authentication<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Endpoint monitoring<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Tracking and analyzing communication point<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f0f8ff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Product advice<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Recommendations for optimal use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Custom solutions<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Tailored options for specific needs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"qa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_A\"><\/span>Q&amp;A<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Q: What is Confluence 2FA?<br \/>\nA: Confluence 2FA stands for two-factor authentication. \u2064It \u2064is an extra layer of security used to keep your Confluence account safe. \u2063It requires two forms of authentication, like a password and a one-time code generated by a phone\u2062 or security key, before you can access your account.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Why should I use Confluence 2FA?<br \/>\nA: Confluence 2FA is\u2062 an extra layer of\u2063 security that will help keep \u2063your \u2063Confluence account safe.\u200b It requires two forms \u200bof authentication, so\u200d it makes it more difficult for hackers to gain access to your\u200b account, even if they know your password.<\/p>\n<p>Q: \u2062How\u2063 do I \u200bset up Confluence 2FA?<br \/>\nA: To\u2062 set up Confluence \u20642FA, you will need to have a phone\u2064 or security key that supports the \u2063service.
