Question

Set 2FA every login

Hi,

I use a YubiKey NFC.

For example, I can deauthenticate my MacbookPro and request a 2FA for the next login.
Is it possible to request this for every login so that a login is only possible via e.g. YubiKey or Google Authentication?

thanks

Martin

Hello Former Member! 👋

Two-factor authentication (when using something like an authenticator app or YubiKey) only prevents others from adding your account to a new device. Once an account is added to a device you'll need to use your account password (or biometrics) to unlock the app and decrypt your data: Authentication and encryption in the 1Password security model

Are you looking for the ability to always be prompted for your YubiKey, in addition to the account password, before 1Password unlocks? Can you tell me a little more about what kind of attack you're trying to protect against?

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

The reason I would like to be prompted for 2FA at each login is that I am sometimes using a shared PC.
