Disable two-factor authentication for your colleagues or subordinate users
If your colleagues or subordinate users lost access to their two-factor authentication (e.g. they lost their authenticator device or could not receive authentication code via email), you can disable the two-factor authentication for their accounts, so that they can directly log in with username and password.
  1. Log in to Yeastar Central Management, go to System > User.
  2. Click beside the desired account.
  3. In the Two-factor Authentication drop-down list, select Disabled.
  4. In the pop-up Password window, enter your account password and click Confirm to verify your operation.
  5. Click Save.

    The two-factor authentication of the user's account is disabled.
