2FA for JIRA and Confluence

Question

Hi All -

We are looking for options to implement 2FA (2 factor authentication) for JIRA and Confluence.

We have JIRA and confluence both set up on-premise. Can someone please suggest the options available.

If 2FA is not a viable option, then what are other ways to implement tighter login mechanism?

For us, 2FA means when you enter your userid/password along with a number from the RSA token.

Thanks,

Payal

Hello there,

You may refer to the plugin below that works for me as expected.

For Jira:- Click Here

For Confluence:- Click Here

The above plugin also has an advanced user management feature so that both individuals and groups can take 2FA action.

Thanks,

Heta

For Confluence: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220359/2fa-u2f-secure-login-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview

Please note that these apps have Data Center editions.

Hi Payal,

there are other plugin to enable two-factor authentication for JIRA and Confluence (and even Atlassian Crowd)

The add-ons provided by SecSign Inc. does not need any additionaly usb-tokens or the input of generated numbers.

The solution of SecSign is a true 2-factor authentication and a 2-channel authentication as well.
