2 Factor Authentication for JIRA

[Gianna Migliorisi]

There are a bunch of requests regarding 2FA. There's a generic ticket for enabling 2FA for Crowd: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-677. If this is implemented, will it 2FA be required for JIRA, if JIRA is using Crowd as its primary user directory?

Will 2FA be enabled for JIRA in the future?

It might be possible as JIRA is using embedded Crowd by default. Therefore, it would be better to watch the tickets for developer updates which would be more accurate.

Hi @Gianna Migliorisi 

There's a Jira 2FA plugin available with U2F devices support 

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220048/2fa-u2f-totp-secure-login-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview.

Please note that this app has Data Center edition.

There's also one more app (simplified version) - U2F for Jira

There are couple of 2FA add-ons available.But if those plugins will be enabled for JIRA cloud is up to Atlassian.

So for JIRA server, you can check out the benefits of our new 2FA JIRA add-on for two-factor authentication using your SecSign ID.

Please have a look at our new JIRA add-on "secure login", providing 2-factor authentication:

Just looked at your plugin and to be honest, the comic nature of the video made me discount it immediately.

Also, having just tried a trial version of this on our JIRA and confluence servers, when used in tandem with both JIRA and confluence, with confluence using an external user directory, it has a ton of bugs that cause admins to be completely locked out of confluence. Thankfully I caught it before it locked every admin out and we were able to disable it. do not install this plugin if you have more than one Atlassian product with shared users. On a single instance it seemed to work fine.

Hello William,

thank you for your feedback. We apologise for issues with our plugins in the context of external user directory. We will analyze the intergration of 2FA with shared user directory and inform you about a new version of our plugins, which will give you a solution to using it.

Best regards,

Max
