2FA for JIRA and Confluence
Asked by Payal Garg:

Hi All -

We are looking for options to implement 2FA (2 factor authentication) for JIRA and Confluence.

We have JIRA and confluence both set up on-premise. Can someone please suggest the options available.

If 2FA is not a viable option, then what are other ways to implement tighter login mechanism?

For us, 2FA means when you enter your userid/password along with a number from the RSA token.

Thanks,

Payal

There's a Jira 2FA plugin available with U2F devices support:

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220048/2fa-u2f-totp-secure-login-for-jira?hosting=server\&tab=overview.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220048/2fa-u2f-totp-secure-login-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview.)

For Confluence: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220359/2fa-u2f-secure-login-for-confluence?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220359/2fa-u2f-secure-login-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

Please note that these apps have Data Center editions.

There are add-ons you can try. One that I'm aware of is [2-Factor Auth (2FA) Secure Login - JIRA](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.syracom.jira.plugins.securelogin/server/overview).

In addition, please vote on [CWD-677](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-677?_ga=2.230150046.340580027.1503067049-39342300.1501512564).

You may refer to the plugin below that works for me as expected.

For Jira:- [Click Here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221260/two-factor-authentication-2fa-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview)

For Confluence:- [Click Here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221328/two-factor-authentication-2fa-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

The above plugin also has an advanced user management feature so that both individuals and groups can take 2FA action.

Thanks,

Heta
