New
-
General – Added support for Two-Factor Authentication
Users can now secure their account with a second verification step via email or an authenticator app.
How to set up Two-Factor Authentication
As a user: If 2FA is not yet active for your account, you’ll see a notification on the dashboard after logging in prompting you to enable 2FA.
-
Click the “Enable Two-Factor Authentication” button.
-
Email verification will be enabled by default: you'll receive a 6-digit code by email at each login attempt.
You can also enable 2FA manually via your profile:
-
Click your hotel name in the top right > "Profile"
-
Enable 2FA
-
Manage your preferred method (email or authenticator app)
Adding an authenticator app (recommended): We recommend using an authenticator app like Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, or 1Password:
-
Go to your profile (top right > "Profile")
-
Enable 2FA (if this isn't active yet) and click "Manage Authentication Method"
-
Select "Add Authenticator App" in the pop-up
-
Scan the QR code using your authenticator app
-
Enter the 6-digit code shown in the app
Once this is configured, the app will be used instead of email for 2FA.
As an administrator: Administrators can enforce 2FA for all users in the installation:
-
Go to Settings > Configuration > System Settings > General
-
Enable the switch next to "Enable Two-Factor Authentication for all users"
Note: when this setting is active, individual users will no longer be able to disable 2FA.
Managing your 2FA settings: Once enabled, users can manage their authentication methods via their profile. This includes editing or adding methods as needed.
