If you've enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) this means your employees are required to enter a one-time passcode as well as their login details.
It's possible to select individual employees to require using 2FA when they log in.
📎NOTE: Once you enable 2FA for someone, it can't be disabled for them, only reset.

📎NOTE: If you don't have these options because you haven't enabled 2FA for the company, the reason the employee may be required to use 2FA could be they have another employer who has enabled 2FA for their login to Sage HR.
Alternatively, their Sage account may be used for other Sage products which require 2FA to access them.
