    2. To disable 2FA using email, goto menu "Global Administration -> User Maintenance ". Edit the user and untick "Two-Factor Authentication - Using Email"
  2. Authenticator App
    1. To enable 2FA using Authenticator App, follow these steps:
      1. Scan the QR code or enter manual setup code using your authenticator app
      2. Verify the QR code is valid by entering the code from your authenticator app.
