Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) provides an additional layer of security by requiring a second verification factor during login.
Engati supports two types of 2FA:
- Email OTP
- Authenticator App (Recommended)
Authenticator App-based authentication provides stronger security and is recommended for all users.

User Invitation and Onboarding
Newly invited users automatically inherit the authentication method configured by the account owner.
For Email OTP Accounts
Users will receive a standard invitation email and complete verification using Email OTP.
For Authenticator App Accounts
Invitation emails include a QR code for authenticator setup.
Additionally, during the user's first login:
- The setup QR code is displayed again within the application.
- The user scans the QR code using their authenticator application.
- The user verifies the generated code.
- Account setup is completed.
This ensures users can successfully configure their authenticator application even if the original invitation email is unavailable.
