Why Two-Factor Authentication Matters More Than 
Ever
As teams scale and collaborate across geographies, account security becomes 
mission-critical. Project management tools store sensitive data – roadmaps, client 
details, financial estimates, internal discussions – and a single compromised login can
disrupt delivery and trust.
Passwords alone are no longer enough.
That’s why Orangescrum now introduces built-in Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – 
designed to protect user accounts without adding friction to everyday work.

What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication adds a second verification step after entering your 
password. Even if credentials are compromised, unauthorized access is blocked 
unless the second factor is validated.
With Orangescrum’s new 2FA implementation, security is enhanced while keeping 
the user experience simple and intuitive.
How 2FA Works in Orangescrum
Orangescrum currently supports Email-Based One-Time Password (OTP) as its 2FA 
method.
Login flow:
 User enters their email and password
 A 6-digit OTP is sent to the registered email address
 User enters the OTP to complete authentication
This ensures that only verified users with email access can log in.
Key Features of Orangescrum’s 2FA Authentication
Email-Based OTP Authentication
 Secure 6-digit one-time passwords

Role-Based 2FA Enforcement
 Enforce 2FA by user role
 Mandate stronger security for admins, managers, or specific teams
 Flexibility to exclude selected roles if required
Security Questions as Account Recovery
 Users configure 3 security questions during 2FA setup
 Helps verify identity during account recovery
 Adds an additional safety net beyond OTP
Rate Limiting & Account Lockout
 Maximum OTP verification attempts enforced
 Temporary lockout after failed attempts 
 Protects against brute-force and automated attacks
Password Reset Integration
 If a user selects “Forgot Password”, 2FA is automatically reset
 Ensures secure recovery without manual admin intervention
SSO & 2FA Compatibility
 For SSO-enabled users, authentication is delegated to the Identity Provider 
(IdP)
 Orangescrum’s native OTP does not interfere with SSO flows
 Seamless experience for enterprise identity setups
