Setting company domain and forcing two-factor authentication

In Freelo, we do our best to ensure that no third party can have access to your confidential information. One of the steps we took to enhance the security levels, we added a feature to verify a user’s or a company’s domain.

In case you have company domain, eg. @freelo.io, all your invited users should log in to Freelo with an email address from this domain. Thanks to having a verified domain, you can:

  1. Protect your data
  2. Manage users’ personal information (account name + picture)
  3. Simultaneously manage the settings of several users via the Settings Template

How to verify domain

Access the Security page via the Business panel icon > Security. Without a verified domain you cannot manage users. You can have multiple domains saved in Freelo.

Click the rudder icon and Security.
