How to reset 2FA

Reset two-factor authentication for every user from Security Ninja → Tools, then have users set up 2FA again.

Use this when you need every user to set up 2FA again, for example after a staffing change or a lost authenticator device you cannot recover another way.

Tell users before you reset. They will need to complete setup on the next login if 2FA stays enabled.

Steps

  1. Go to Security Ninja → Tools.
  2. Find Reset all users 2FA.
  3. Click Reset all users 2FA.

Tools page Reset all users 2FA control

This clears 2FA configuration for all users, including people who already finished setup.

After the reset

  • If Enable 2FA remains on, users with a required role are prompted to set up 2FA again on the next login (subject to any grace period).
  • Previous authenticator secrets and email-code preferences are cleared.

For a single user, an administrator can also manage 2FA on that user’s profile (including Bypass 2FA).
