Síntomas
This article covers two-factor authentication (2FA) requirements and configuration for the CrowdStrike Falcon Console.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a type of multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is used to require a user to confirm their identity by using multiple factors. 2FA uses two factors to identify the user. Requiring multiple factors to authenticate a user helps keep guarded information safe from malicious threat actors. CrowdStrike requires 2FA by default, and it cannot be disabled to help protect your environment.
