Updating your password:

Step 1: Access security settings

  • Go to Settings in the left-hand toolbar

  • Click on "Your Name" at the top of the settings menu

  • You'll see password and security options

Step 2: Change your password

  • Click on "Update Password" or similar option

  • Enter your current password for verification

  • Create a new strong password meeting Marloo's requirements

Password requirements:

  • Strong passwords mandatory: Marloo requires robust password security

  • Mix of characters: Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols

  • Adequate length: Minimum character requirements for security

  • Avoid common passwords: System will reject easily guessed passwords

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Why use MFA: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account, requiring both your password and a second verification method.
​

Setting up MFA:

Step 1: Enable MFA

  • In your Personal settings, find the "Two-Factor Authentication" section

  • Toggle the switch to "ON" to enable MFA

Step 2: Choose your authentication method

  • Authenticator app: Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy

  • SMS verification: Receive codes via text message

  • Email codes: Get verification codes via email

Step 3: Complete setup

  • Follow the on-screen instructions for your chosen method

  • Test the setup to ensure it works correctly

  • Save any backup codes provided

Managing MFA:

  • Backup codes: Store backup authentication codes securely

  • Device updates: Update MFA when changing phones or devices

  • Recovery options: Know how to regain access if your 2FA device is unavailable

Require MFA across your entire organisation

As a firm administrator, you can mandate multi-factor authentication for all team members, adding an extra layer of security to your Marloo account.

How to enforce MFA for all users:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Company in the main menu

  2. Scroll to the Security section

  3. Find "Enforce multi-factor authentication for all users"

  4. Toggle the switch to ON

  5. Changes take effect immediately

What happens when MFA is enforced:

  • All users will be required to set up MFA the next time they log in

  • Users cannot access the organisation until they complete MFA setup

  • Each user chooses their preferred authentication method (authenticator app, SMS, or email)

  • Users who already have MFA enabled are unaffected

Important: Communicate with your team before enabling this setting so they're prepared to set up MFA at their next login.
