Form Login and reCAPTCHA

Enable the Login feature if you want to allow users to log in using a username and password.

Google reCAPTCHA is a security service that Google provides to prevent non-human entities from accessing websites. Users are offered social login options such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. This feature allows users to access the site using any of these accounts.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all agents

Enable 2FA for BoldDesk accounts to enhance security and protect against unauthorized access.

These settings only apply to BoldDesk form logins. They do not apply to custom SSO or social logins.

Password policy

The password policy applies exclusively to users who have opted for BoldDesk (Form Login).

The two options available are Default Policy and Custom Policy.

Single Sign-on

Users are provided with social login options such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. This feature enables users to log in to the site using any of these accounts, saving time and eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords.

You can log in simply by using your existing account on these platforms.

Open ID connect
