If you enable a custom password policy in your Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM)/Scholarship Lifecycle Manger (SLM) site, you have the option to require two factor authentication for users. This requirement is configured by user role.
Two factor authentication is an authentication method where a user must present two or more pieces of evidence to access a system. When enabled in your GLM/SLM site, a user will need to enter their password and a verification code once per day to log on when they are using the same browser. Throughout the rest of the day, they will only need to enter their username and password to log back on.

Reset Two Factor Authentication for a User
