NOTE

A two-factor authentication is not required from users created with a unique device and system administrators.

 

Two-Factor Authentication

Whenever a user logs in a device not yet registered in Elipse Mobile Server, an e-mail is sent to this user with a code. That code must be provided on the login screen to finish the registration of this device. The maximum expiration time for this code is 1 (one) minute. The maximum number of devices registered in Elipse Mobile Server is 2 (two). Whenever a new device is registered, the oldest registered device is removed. When a user executes a login on a device already registered, the two-factor authentication is not required, only when that user executes a logout. System administrator users are advised to configure the admin_login_email option to true to receive an e-mail whenever they execute a login.
