Team sign-in policy
Require two-factor authentication and automatic sign-out for your whole team.
Settings → Security has a Team sign-in policy card with two controls. It's available on every plan, for owners and admins.
Require two-factor authentication
- Team members without an authenticator app are taken to set one up before they can use the admin.
- You need it on your own account first (Settings → Account), so you can't lock yourself out.
- It applies to your team. Clients are unaffected.
Sign out after inactivity
Choose when idle sessions end: Never, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or 8 hours. People get a two-minute warning first, and can keep working.
Turning on HIPAA safeguards forces both settings on.
Shared computers or client-facing laptops are the best reason to choose a short inactivity timeout.
