Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) also called two-step verification or multi-factor authentication is a security process in which a user has to pass two different authentication factors to gain access to an account or a computer system. First factor is the basic thing you know: username and password and second factor is what you might have as unique like a (Smartphone, security token, biometric) to approve authentication requests. By enabling 2FA you'll add an additional layer of security making it harder for attackers to access the data through a person’s device or an online account. Two-Factor Authentication - 2FA security helps you and your users to protect against phishing, social engineering and password brute-force attacks and secures your logins.

Admin can set the default 2-factor method for users to avoid the extra step where each user can set their own 2FA method.
Admin also has the privileges to restrict the 2FA methods for end-users so that users are only allowed to use a particular set of 2-factor methods. Users can only see the allowed 2-factor methods on the user dashboard.
Role-based authentication or role-based 2FA is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users. With hundreds or thousands of employees, security is more easily maintained by limiting unnecessary access to sensitive information based on each user's established role within the organization. We provide an option to manage users according to their roles and providing them the necessary access. Admin can enable/disable 2FA for a particular role and for any application.
For you Two-factor Authentication (2FA) might seem like a hassle after all you need to take an extra step to log on to your accounts and access websites.
