2 factor authentication for external users

[Peter Reiser]

Is there a way to enable 2 factor authentication for external users?

We have 2FA for all our internal users using Atlassian access but we have the same requirements for non company managed Atlassian accounts.

Hi y'all, there's an EAP for this request to add 2FA for external users.

@Benjamin  many thanks for the link but I need a solution for Atlassian Cloud products and this vendor plugin is only available on the server :-(

@Peter Reiser :

You welcome. I have some ok news about the cloud. It is on roadmap but it won't be till middle of next year.

Here's the roadmap status on it:

and the ticket raise for it:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ACCESS-102

Hope this works out with your project timelines.
