This feature has currently been released for public Beta testing.

Passwordless Authentication allows you to enable 2-factor authentication without using an authentication application. Once configured, an automated phone call will be made to the phone number you have set up. You will be required to answer the phone and input your preconfigured 4-8 digit PIN number into the telephone's keypad before being logged into the ThreatLocker Portal.

To set up Passwordless Authentication, navigate to the Administrators page and click the 'Edit' button next to the user you want to enable Passwordless Authentication on.
