2-Factor Authentication —
Every login, verified

One stolen password shouldn't compromise your entire workforce's data. TheDeskMonitor requires a one-time code on every login — an extra layer that stops unauthorized access dead.

Key Capabilities

Security that doesn't get in the way

Email OTP login
Email OTP on Every Login

After entering their password, users receive a one-time passcode to their verified email. The code is time-limited and single-use — no authenticator app required.

Session-level verification
Session-Level Verification Flag

Each authenticated session carries a 2FA verification flag. The system can enforce re-verification after periods of inactivity for high-sensitivity actions.

Force 2FA by role
Force 2FA by Role

Admins can enforce mandatory 2FA for specific roles (e.g., Managers, Billing users) while keeping it optional for standard employees. Compliance-grade control without system-wide friction.

Compliance audit trail

Every 2FA challenge — passed or failed — is logged with timestamp, device, and IP. Your compliance audit has a complete authentication event history on demand.

Login anomaly detection
Login Anomaly Detection

Logins from new devices or unusual locations trigger an additional verification prompt — automatically, with no configuration required. Suspicious activity is flagged to admins.

GDPR and compliance ready
GDPR & Compliance Ready

2FA implementation is documented in TheDeskMonitor's security architecture. The authentication audit log supports GDPR, SOC 2, and HIPAA access-control requirements.

How It Works

Secure in seconds

1
User Enters Password

The login flow starts as normal. After a valid password is entered, the system triggers a 2FA OTP challenge.

2
OTP Sent to Email

A 6-digit one-time code is emailed to the user's verified address. The code expires in 5 minutes and can only be used once.

3
Code Verified — Access Granted

The user enters the code and gains access. The authentication event is logged. Without the code, access is blocked — even with the correct password.
