Request to use MFA

Andreas Kemper_8h9ltw

Hello everyone.

When I log in to Atlassian, I am asked at irregular intervals whether I want to use the MFA or not.
If I answer positively, I'm guided through the setup process and can activate the MFA at the end. (Info: We have not yet verified our domain, so I am considered an external user).

What determines whether this message appears or not?
Maybe there is some logic behind this it or just a counter or sth. similar.

I look forward to any feedback.

Best wishes and have a good start to the week

Hi @Andreas Kemper 

The prompt to set up Multi-Factor Authentication or verify your identity is a deliberate security measure enforced by the Atlassian organization you are accessing.

This external user security policy requires periodic re-authentication to ensure the security of the organization's resources.

To learn more 

• Change session duration for external user security... - Atlassian Community
• Available external user security policy settings | Atlassian Support
• [ACCESS-1579] Ability to change the verification frequency for external user security - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
