Choose whether or not to require members to change their password and enter several days periodically. Finally, choose whether to require two-factor authentication (2FA). If you require 2FA, all members must have an email address (or, if your organization has enabled text messaging, a cell phone number) listed in their member profile. When the member signs in, a 6-digit authentication code is sent to the member either via email only or text message. The member is then prompted to enter the code to complete their sign-in process.
If your club has enabled text messaging, members do not need to agree to receive text messages in order to receive their authentication code via text message. They will only be able to receive 2FA codes, however, and will continue to be excluded from blast text messages sent by your organization. Additionally, if your organization turns off text messaging, members who opted to receive a texted authentication code will be required to reaffirm their email address for future authentication codes.
If your organization requires 2FA and a member does not have an email address or cell phone number, they will no longer be able to log into the website.
If your organization enabled 2FA, all members will be required to reaffirm their email address the next time they log in to your website.
