×Mattermost 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an additional layer of security in which a user or an organizational employee have to provide two factors to gain access to the Mattermost account. With Mattermost TFA being enabled, anyone trying to login to your Mattermost account from an unrecognized computer/device must provide additional authorization. Authentication starts with a user submitting his traditional username and password. Once the user successfully gets authenticated with the 1st step verification, configured 2FA (OTP over SMS, Push Notifications, YubiKey, TOTP, Google Authenticator etc) method prompts for 2nd-step verification. After successfully authenticating with both of the steps a user is granted with the access to the Mattermost account. This extra layer prevents the unauthorized person from accessing the resources even if cyber attackers get to know your credentials.

A. Restricting access to Mattermost with IP Blocking
You can use adaptive authentication with Mattermost Single Sign-On (SSO) to improve the security and functionality of Single Sign-On. You can allow a IP Address in certain range for SSO or you can deny it based your requirements and you can also challenge the user to verify his authenticity. Adaptive authentication manages the user authentication bases on different factors such as Device ID, Location, Time of Access, IP Address and many more.
You can configure Adaptive Authentication with IP Blocking in following way:Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Allow | Allow user to authenticate and use services if Adaptive authentication condition is true. |
Challenge | Challenge users with one of the three methods mentioned below for verifying user authenticity. |
Deny | Deny user authentications and access to services if Adaptive authentication condition is true. |

OTP over Alternate Email | User will receive a OTP on the alternate email he has configured threw Self Service Console. Once user provides the correct OTP he is allowed to proceed further. |
B. Adaptive Authentication with Limiting number of devices.
Using Adaptive Authentication you can also restrict the number of devices the end user can access the Services on. You can allow end users to access services on a fixed no. of devices. The end users will be able to access services provided by us on this fixed no. of devices.
