   For all user accounts for which two-step verification is enabled, the 2FA required column is set to Yes.

3. In the Properties: <user name> window that opens, select the Two-step verification section.
4. In the Two-step verification section, select the following options:
   • If you want to disable two-step verification for a user account, click the Disable button.
   • If you want to exclude this user account from two-step verification, select the User can pass authentication by using user name and password only option.
5. Click the Apply button.
6. Click the OK button.
