These sections describe how to administer 2-Step Verification across your organization.
## Configure the global 2-Step Verification policy
Configuring 2-Step Verification policy requires the role capability to [set up a password policy](/docs/manage/security/set-password-policy/). See [About 2-Step Verification](/docs/manage/security/about-2-step-verification/) for an explanation of the **Required** and **Optional** options.
To configure the 2-Step Verification policy for your organization:
1. [**New UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui). In the main Sumo Logic menu select **Administration**, and then under **Account Security Settings** select **Password Policy**. You can also click the **Go To...** menu at the top of the screen and select **Password Policy**.
[**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic). In the main Sumo Logic menu, select **Administration > Security > Password Policy**.
1. By default, 2-Step Verification is optional. Select **Required** if you want all users in the organization to authenticate using 2-Step Verification.
})
1. Click **Save**.
## Manage 2-Step Verification for your organization
An administrator with the [Manage Users and Roles capability](/docs/manage/users-roles/roles/role-capabilities/#user-management) can perform the following 2-Step Verification management functions for an organization.
* **View 2-Step Verification status**. The **2SV** column on the **Users** page shows a green check mark if 2-Step Verification is enabled for a user.
})
* **View the audit Log**. Audit log entries are created for configuration changes by administrators, when 2-Step Verification for a user is enabled or disabled, and when there is a failure to validate a 2-Step Verification code upon sign-in.
* **Disable 2-Step Verification for a user**. An administrator can disable 2-Step Verification for a user in case they’ve lost access to their 2-Step Verification token. This action resets the user account to pre-2-Step Verification state. If the 2-Step Verification policy is required, the user will be forced to configure 2-Step perification when next signing in.
1. [**New UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui). In the main Sumo Logic menu select **Administration**, and then under **Users and Roles** select **Users**. You can also click the **Go To...** menu at the top of the screen and select **Users**.
[**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic). In the main Sumo Logic menu, select **Administration > Users and Roles > Users**.
1. Click the **More Actions** icon for the user and select **Disable 2-Step Verification**.
})
* **Remember browser**. The **Remember Browser** setting is on the **Password** **Policy** tab of the **Security** page and has these options:
* **Disabled**. Users must enter their 2-Step Verification token each time they sign in to Sumo Logic.
* **30 days**. On sign-in, users are presented with the **Remember this browser for 30 days** check box. If this option is selected, the browser stores a cookie with a secret code that functions as the second authentication factor for the next 30 days. During that period, the user isn't asked for the 2-Step Verification code on that browser.
