Enable Two Factor Authentication For Your Firm

When you require two factor authentication for your entire law firm, all members of the law firm will be required to setup a two factor authentication phone number. Each member can then configure how they want to receive two factor authentication codes as SMS, email, or phone call.

  • In the upper right corner of the page, click on your name.

  • Select "Firm Settings" from the pop up menu.

  • On the Firm Settings page, click on the "Configurations" tab.

  • In the left navigation, click on "General" tab.

  • Under the Security section, toggle the option for "Require Two Factor Authentication?" which should turn blue when enabled.

  • By enabling the option, you will see a new pop up window that will prompt you to enter a new phone number in which to use for two factor authentication for yourself.

    • If you already have a phone number, you will see a "Use For Two Factor" button in which you can choose this option to set the phone number as your two factor auth telephone.

    • After clicking "Use For Two Factor", select "Yes" to confirm.

  • On your next login, all members of the law firm will be required to setup and enter a two factor authentication code to access the system.

Congratulations! You have successfully enabled enhanced security for your law firm.

Default Task Options

You can configure a few task options for your entire firm to adhere to when they enter tasks.

  • In the upper right corner of the page, click on your name.

  • Select "Firm Settings" from the pop up menu.

      • Current Member
