Enable and verify two-factor authentication

What this function does and why it matters

Enable and verify two-factor authentication is part of the Security Access and Diagnostics workflow in ClassRoom.Study. The function exists to help the right stakeholder move from intention to action without guessing which page, button or record controls the outcome. Protect account sign-in with two-factor setup, verification codes and admin-configured authentication policy. In daily use this means a learner can understand what to do next, a creator can prepare learning material with fewer support questions, a company admin can manage people and evidence with a cleaner audit trail, and a platform admin can see whether the process is working at scale. For security-conscious teams, these controls protect login, private access, invite acceptance and API credentials. For operators, diagnostics make it easier to prove whether a problem is access, deployment, configuration or provider connectivity.

The benefit is not only convenience. This area protects operational consistency. It makes status visible before a person acts, keeps related records connected, and gives teams a repeatable way to train new users. When a company has many learners, courses, invoices, schedules or live sessions, small navigation mistakes become expensive. A clear manual gives every person the same mental map: where to start, what to check, what each control changes, and what proof should exist after the action is complete. Use this page as the plain-language reference when onboarding new staff, answering support tickets, checking compliance, or preparing screenshots for a branded internal guide.

Benefits and features

• Adds a second verification step after password authentication.
• Uses configured code length, expiry and attempt limits from auth settings.
• Improves protection for admins, creators and company owners.

Step-by-step navigation

Follow the steps in order the first time. After you understand the flow, you can jump directly to the control you need. For training purposes, replace every screenshot placeholder with the exact screen your users will see in production, including the correct company, role or learner context.

1. Step 1: Open Settings, then Security.

2. Step 2: Start two-factor setup and follow the verification instructions.

3. Step 3: Enter the current code before it expires.

4. Step 4: Sign out and test the login flow so recovery expectations are clear.

Good operating habits

Work from the smallest panel that gives you the control you need, confirm status chips before acting, and use exports or detail pages when you need an audit trail. If an action changes billing, access, certificates, AI usage, invitations, public content, or live session attendance, pause long enough to confirm the company, learner, course and date context. Add notes where the interface provides them. Use filters before exporting so the exported CSV answers a specific question. When training a novice, ask them to say what changed after each step; if they cannot explain the result, they should return to the record and check the status, timestamp, or linked activity before moving on.
