This feature is available in Chocolatey Central Management starting with version 0.10.0.

  2. Login with the ccmadmin user.

  3. In the left-hand menu click on Administration and then Settings.

  4. Click on the Security tab

  5. Either enable, or disable, the Enable two factor user login checkbox as required.

  6. If enabled, choose whether to Enable email verification and Allow to remember browser. If you allow this, users can select to remember browser to skip second time two factor login for the same browser.

  7. Click the Save All button at the top right of the page to save your settings.

NOTE

If you disable the Enable email verification option, this is the same as disabling all two factor login. In future versions of Chocolatey Central Management, there will be additional methods of verification on top of only email, this is why there is a checkbox for it currently.

Once enabled, any user logging into the Chocolatey Central Management website will be presented with this screen, where they will have the allotted time to enter the security code which will have been sent to the email address associated with their account.

The Remember this browser checkbox is what can be enabled/disabled in step 6 above. If the user chooses to enable this setting, a cookie will be created and stored in the browser, meaning that they will not be promoted for a two factor login security code on this browser again.
