How do I turn off two-factor authentication (2FA) on my own account?

🚨 Important: We do not recommend turning off 2FA. For the most secure experience possible, every user should have this set up on their account.

  • Go to 'User Actions' > 'My Account' > 'Security'.

  • Scroll down and choose 'None' at the bottom of the 2FA settings.

  • Enter your password and click 'Disable 2FA'.


How do I turn off two-factor authentication (2FA) for a locked-out user?

🚨 Important: Only the practice owner is able to disable 2FA for a locked-out user.

  • Go to 'Settings' > 'Users'

  • Find the locked-out user and click the edit icon

  • Find the 'Security' section

  • Click the red lock icon

  • Enter your password to disable 2FA.


Why use two-factor authentication?

Dentally prioritises the security of your data. Adding 2FA ensures:

  • Increased protection: Provides a second layer of security beyond your password.

  • Prevention of unauthorised access: Even if your password is compromised, your account stays protected.

  • Flexibility for remote work: Keeps your data secure whether you're working in the office or remotely.
