# MFA Settings

For some profiles, a step-up verification is required as an additional security measure. A user is prompted to enter an OTP from the Authenticator app to check out a profile.

The following steps need to be done for step-up verification by the administrators:

1. Configure the profile policy to enable Step-up verification. See [Managing Britive Profile Policies](/v1/docs/profilemgmt-managing-profiles#policies).
2. Configure the step-up validity duration. See [Configuring Step-up Verification Validity](/v1/docs/mfa-settings#configuring-stepup-verification-validity).

The following steps need to be done by the users:

1. Register a device for step-up verification. See [User Settings](/v1/docs/user-settings).
2. Check out a profile. See [My Access](/v1/docs/profile-mgmt-myaccess).

## Configuring Step-up Verification Validity

The administrator can configure the Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) validity period. The user does not need re-verification within this period. The user is verified again after this duration.

1. Log in to Britive as an administrator.
2. Click on **System admin**-> **Security**.
3. Click on **MFA Settings**.
4. Select the **Allowed MFA Options**for login and step-up verification. These MFA settings are valid for logging in, checking out a profile, and viewing/editing a secret.

Note:

WebAuthN verification is not supported for Slack and Teams apps.
5. Enter the **Step-up Verification Validity** in minutes. You can enter any value between 15 and 60. The same verification is used for subsequent profile checkouts within this period. This setting applies only if **Remember previous successful Verification** from the profile policy is enabled. For more information, see [Britive Profile Policies](/v1/docs/profilemgmt-managing-profiles#policies).
