## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) {#faq}

**Q: Can I combine SSO with 2FA in Atlassian apps?**  
Yes, miniOrange apps allow you to enforce two-factor authentication even after a successful SSO login, adding an extra layer of security.

REST API authentication uses secure tokens and provides audit trails, reducing the risk of credential leaks common with basic auth.

**Q: Which Atlassian editions do these apps support?**  
miniOrange apps support both Atlassian Data Center and Cloud editions where applicable.
