# Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

Latitude.sh supports Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for authenticating using Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP). After setting up MFA for your account, a code will be required every time you want to access the dashboard.

MFA works when authenticating with email, Google, or Microsoft. When using [passkeys](/account-security/passkeys) or [SAML Single Sign-On (SSO)](/teams/sso), MFA is skipped—even if it's turned on and enforced.

## Setting up MFA

1. On the Latitude.sh dashboard, go to your [profile page](https://www.latitude.sh/dashboard/account) and click the Enroll button in the Multi-factor auth section.
2. Scan the QR code with an authentication app such as Google Authenticator or [1Password](https://www.1password.com).
3. Enter the code shown in the authentication app and click Verify.

MFA is now fully set up.

## MFA enforcement

Account owners can enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all members. Here's how to do it:

* Navigate to **Settings** → **Members & access** → **Multi-Factor Auth (MFA)** tab.
* Enable the **Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)** toggle.

Once enabled, every team member will have to set up MFA to access the team.

Note: MFA enforcement is not available for teams using SAML Single Sign-On (SSO), as multi-factor authentication is typically handled by the identity provider.
