• Cloud Conformity: Number Of Days Before Authentication Information Re-confirmation

Description

Open File

Description

Ensure that the number of days before users are asked to re-confirm their authentication information is not set to 0.

Rationale

This setting is necessary if you have set up the Require users to register when signing in option. If authentication reconfirmation is disabled, registered users will never be prompted to reconfirm their existing authentication information. If a user's authentication information changes, such as a phone number or email, then the password reset information for that user reverts to the previously registered authentication information.

Impact

Users will be prompted for their multifactor authentication at the duration set here.
