111 3. You can require users to enable 2FA and also give them a grace period to do so.
112 4. Users can also use one-time codes via email as a two-factor authentication method.
113 5. You can use policies to require users to instantly set up and use 2FA, so the next time they login they will be prompted with this.
114 6. You can give users a grace period until they configure 2FA. You can also specify what should the plugin do once the grace period is over.
115 7. It is recommended for all users to also generate backup codes, in case they cannot access the primary device.
