2FA and further enhanced security policies for your team (November 2024)

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your company account by requiring not only the user's password but also a second form of verification. This means that even if someone gets hold of a password from any of your team members, they won’t be able to access your data.


How to enable it?

  • For admins (company policy):
    • Admins can go to their company settings page and select the "enforce" option, which will require all users to setup 2FA
    • While by default it is optional for users to add 2FA, we strongly recommend to enforce it


  • For users:
    • When enforced, every user is asked to setup their 2FA before being able to continue to use HRCast
    • Every invited user is asked for 2FA during signup (if enforced, it cannot be skipped)
    • Users can also enable it under their profile page
    • We support all common apps like Google Authenticator




Further enhanced security policies

  • Increase password strength: Minimum length of 10 characters, at least one of all the following (lowercase letter, uppercase letter, number, special character), not a trivial / common password
  • Account locking: Accounts will be locked after 5 unsuccessful login attempts. This will send an email to the user's email which allows unlocking again
