How To Enable Two-Step Authentication in Quickpost.

Overview : 

This article explains how a domain administrator can enable Two-Step Authentication (2FA) for all users in a domain, and how end users configure it and update their email clients using application passwords.

Important: Two-Step Authentication is enabled at the domain level and affects all users. It cannot be toggled per individual user.

1. Enabling Two-Step Authentication (domain administrator)

1. Log in to SmarterMail as a domain administrator.

2. Click on Settings and choose Domain Settings from the dropdown.
   
   

3. From the left-hand menu, select General.

4. On the User Options card, enable Force two-step authentication.

5. Click Save to apply the changes.
   
   

Note: Once enabled, all users in the domain will be required to configure Two-Step Authentication when they next sign in to webmail.

2. User setup of Two-Step Authentication (end user)

1. Log in to Quickpost.

2. If prompted, begin the Two-Step Authentication setup process.

3. Add a recovery email address.

   • This should ideally be an email address not hosted on the same domain to reduce risk of lockout.

4. Choose an authentication method:

   • Recovery email (receive codes via that address)
     

   • Authentication app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator)
     

5. Configure 2AF and update verification code.

6. After updating verification in the next it shows password for IMAP/POP configured users.
   
   Please refer the below screenshot.
   
   
   
   
   

   1. Webmail – Use the same user password.

      • Continue using your normal account password when logging in to webmail at https://quickpost.app/.

   2. IMAP/POP/SMTP – Use the generated strong password.
      

      • For traditional email clients (e.g., Outlook), replace your normal account password with the generated strong password (e.g., qMY87PBM8xVSgFp5).
        
        
        Click "OK," then log in using your username, password, and verification code.
