Learn how to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA) for your Linkbreakers workspace. This guide walks you through the simple activation process in your workspace settings and explains what changes for your team once MFA is turned on.
Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your workspace. When you enable it, every team member will need to verify their identity with a 6-digit code sent to their email whenever they sign in.
This means even if someone gets hold of a password, they can't access your workspace without also having access to that person's email inbox. It's a simple but effective way to protect your data.
You'll find the MFA settings in your workspace dashboard. Here's how to enable it:
That's it. Once activated, MFA applies to everyone in your workspace automatically.
The next time any team member tries to log in, they'll go through the standard password entry. Then they'll receive an email with a 6-digit verification code. They'll need to enter that code to complete their login.
The code expires after a few minutes, so it needs to be used right away. This time limit prevents old codes from being reused if someone intercepts them later.
Passwords alone aren't enough anymore. They get reused across services, stolen in data breaches, or guessed through simple attacks. MFA closes that gap by requiring something the person actually has (their email access) on top of something they know (their password).
You're not just protecting one account when you enable this. You're protecting your entire workspace and everyone in it. One weak password can't compromise everything anymore because the attacker would need two separate points of access.
We made MFA a workspace-level setting rather than a per-user option for a good reason. Security works best when it's consistent. If even one team member skips MFA, that becomes the weak link an attacker can exploit.
When you enable it, everyone gets the same protection. No gaps, no exceptions.
Let your team know this change is coming. They'll need access to their email when logging in, which adds about 15 seconds to the process. Most people adapt quickly and it becomes routine within a few days.
If someone loses access to their email, they won't be able to log in until they regain that access. Make sure your team uses reliable email addresses they can always reach.
