Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a common, extra layer of security that you can add to your online accounts. Enabling two-factor authentication means that Asana will ask for an additional code, in addition to email and password, when authenticating.
This code will be generated by an authenticator app (e.g. Duo, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator) that you can install on your phone.

From the admin console, admins can view if 2FA is enabled for a member. They can also disable 2FA for a specific account. This is useful if a member has lost their 2FA device and needs to regain access.
Note
For security reasons, admins are only allowed to reset 2FA if the member belongs to no other domain.
To view 2FA settings for a member, navigate to the members tab of the admin console. From there click Edit profile settings.
From the next window, navigate to Security tab and scroll down to Two-Factor Authentication.
