Protect your account with two-step verification, make it mandatory for everyone in a Business workspace, and review who exercised privileged permissions in the audit log.

​
Prerequisites

  • An authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, or similar) for two-step verification.
  • A Business workspace and an admin or Owner role to require MFA workspace-wide.
  • An admin or Owner role to read the audit log.

​
Set up two-step verification

Two-step verification is per account and applies wherever you sign in.
1

Open your account security settings

Open Settings → Account and find the Security section with the Two-step verification row.
2

Enable and scan the QR code

Select Enable. In Set up two-step verification, scan the QR code with your authenticator app. If you can’t scan it, enter the setup key manually.
3

Verify the first code

Enter the 6-digit code from your app under Verification code and select Verify. Cogno confirms with Two-step verification enabled.
From then on, signing in shows a Two-step verification screen asking for the 6-digit code from your authenticator app before you can continue to Cogno.

​
Disable two-step verification

In Settings → Account → Security, select Disable on the Two-step verification row, then confirm in the Disable two-step verification? dialog. Your account will no longer require an authenticator code when you sign in.
If a workspace you belong to requires MFA, disabling two-step verification locks you out of that workspace until you enable it again.

​
Require MFA for a workspace

On the Business plan, admins and Owners can make two-step verification mandatory for every member.
1

Verify your own MFA first

Set up and verify your own two-step verification before requiring it for everyone — the toggle stays disabled until you have.
2

Turn on the requirement

Open Settings → Security and turn on Require MFA for this Workspace.
The policy applies to every workspace member:
  • Members who already use two-step verification are asked for their code when they sign in, as usual.
  • Members who have not set it up are sent to their Account settings to enable it before they can enter the workspace.
On a Free workspace the toggle is disabled with the note This setting is available on the Business plan — see Manage workspace billing to upgrade.

​
Review the audit log

Open Settings → Audit log to see privileged actions in the workspace, newest first. The entry is visible to admins and Owners only. Each entry shows:
  • The permission that was exercised (for example, creating or revoking an API key, changing member roles, or managing execution environments).
  • Who acted — a member name, via machine for actions taken through an enrolled machine, or via service for Cogno’s own service actions.
  • A summary of the target (the key details of what was changed).
  • The timestamp.
