Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a critical layer of defense to your Edlio CMS account by requiring both your standard password and a secure verification code during sign-in. This protects sensitive school data and administrative controls against unauthorized access.
đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tip â Mandatory 2FA for Administrators: We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication for all users holding Super Administrator and Website Administrator roles. Because administrative accounts possess sitewide publishing and user management privileges, enforcing 2FA prevents credential stuffing and phishing compromises.
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication
Log in to your Edlio CMS admin panel and click your account name in the upper right corner to access your Profile.
Navigate to the Security or Password & Two-Factor Authentication settings tab.
Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
Scan the generated QR code using an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or 1Password) on your mobile device.
Enter the 6-digit confirmation code generated by your app and click Verify and Save.
Signing in with 2FA
Enter your username and password as normal on your school's Edlio admin login screen.
When prompted, open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit security code to complete sign-in.
If you lose access to your device, contact a school Super Administrator to temporarily reset your 2FA configuration.
