# How to Require Secure Sign In for Teams

Owners can require all team members to use a secure sign-in method.

When a team requires secure sign-in, only team members who log in to DigitalOcean via [Google or GitHub](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/accounts/settings/index.html.md#sign-in-method) or [a DigitalOcean account with two-factor authentication (2FA)](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/accounts/2fa/index.html.md) can access the team.

Any owner can require secure sign-in for existing teams at any time. You can also enable secure sign-in [during team creation](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/teams/how-to/create/index.html.md).

## Require Secure Sign-In

To require secure sign-in for a specific team, go to the [DigitalOcean control panel](https://cloud.digitalocean.com), in the top right corner, click the profile icon, and then in the dropdown menu, click **Switch Teams** to select the team you want secure sign-in for.

Next, in the left menu of the control panel, click **Settings** to go to the [team settings page](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/team). In the **Secure sign-in** section, click **Enable**.

In the window that opens, click **Enable Secure Sign-In**. This notifies all team members via email that secure sign-in is now required.

If your DigitalOcean account doesn’t use a secure sign-in, you are then prompted to [update your sign-in method](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/accounts/settings/index.html.md#sign-in-method).

Similarly, when a team member without an accepted sign-in method tries to access the team, they are prompted to update their sign-in method to regain access to the team. This prevents team members from accessing the team until they switch to [Google or GitHub](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/accounts/settings/index.html.md#sign-in-method) or [enable 2FA on their DigitalOcean account](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/accounts/2fa/index.html.md).

## Stop Requiring Secure Sign-In

Owners can stop requiring secure sign-in for a team on the team page.

On the [team settings page](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/team), in the **Secure Sign-In** section, click **Disable**. In the window that opens, confirm by clicking **Yes, Disable Secure Sign-In**.

This allows team members who log in using a DigitalOcean account without 2FA to access the team.
