Two step verification when signed in with Google account

[Tim Ward]

Hi,

Just looking to clarify whether or not you can set up two step verification when you have signed in with your Google account, as opposed to having a separate account password?

Regards,

Tim.

Hi @Tim Ward,

Welcome to the Community!

Two factor authentication for a number of Cloud products including Trello is handled by Atlassian Access: https://www.atlassian.com/software/access

If you are using a company managed G suite account it will be possible to use Atlassian Access for two factor authentication.

For a gmail account it's considered an "unmanaged" account that can't have two factor authentication enabled.

I hope that helps!

Hi Jimmy,

Many thanks for your answer. So in this case I would need to to disconneect my Google account as my login credentials and establish a sepaarte password login in order to enable two step authenticantion for my account. Would that be correct?

@Jimmy Seddon please reply, you haven't answered the question that was asked

[Jimmy Seddon]

Sorry, sometimes I miss notifications.  Yes that would be correct.

Cheers Jimmy.

Sounds like Atlassian software and docs need to be updated as asking for a password field when the user doesn't have one is super confusing
