App authentication
App authentication settings in Ortto allow you to control how users sign in to their accounts. Here’s how you can set it up:
- Any authentication method (Default): Users can login using any globally configured authentication method.
- Google Single-Sign-On enforced: Forces all users to login with their Google account.
- Microsoft Single-Sign-On enforced: Forces all users to login with their Microsoft account.
- Learn more about Microsoft single-sign-on.
- Okta Single-Sign-On enforced (Limited availability): Forces all users to login with their Okta account. Requires additional setup in OKTA.
- This feature is available to Ortto customers on Enterprise plans.
- Learn more about setting up Okta single-sign-on for Ortto.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to configure Okta single sign-on for your Ortto account, this change cannot be reversed. Once enabled, you cannot switch back to using other authentication methods like Any authentication method or Google Single-Sign-On enforced.
Google reCAPTCHA
Integrate Google’s reCAPTCHA feature seamlessly into Ortto’s capture widgets on your business' websites by following these steps:
- Register your website/s on Google reCAPTCHA’s Admin console, selecting reCAPTCHA v2 and the appropriate options.
- After registration, visit Google reCAPTCHA’s Adding reCAPTCHA to your site page.
- Copy the Site key provided and paste it into the corresponding field in the Ortto interface.
- Copy the Secret key provided and paste it into the Ortto interface’s Secret key field.
These steps will enable Google reCAPTCHA to enhance security on your Ortto capture widgets effectively.
NOTE: reCAPTCHA has different levels of verification depending on the risk detected. It typically starts with the checkbox but can escalate to image challenges if it suspects the user might be a bot.
Two-step authentication (2FA)
Two-step authentication (2FA) enhances the security of your Ortto account by requiring users to verify their identity with a second factor during login. Here’s how you can configure it:
- Optional (Default): Users can sign in with or without using two-factor verification.
- Required: Users must use two-factor verification to sign in. Each user can configure this in their Profile settings.
NOTE:
- If 2FA is required in Settings (Privacy, Security, and GDPR) but not set at the account level (in Profile settings), it will automatically be enabled for each user in their Profile settings.
- If you sign in with a Google account, you may not need to use Ortto’s 2FA as Google's own two-step verification feature is used instead.
- Using OKTA single-sign-on disables 2FA options selection.
Tracking opt-in form
The Tracking opt-in form in Ortto allows you to control Ortto’s cookie-based tracking feature, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- GDPR applies to companies and entities within the EU that handle personal data, as well as those outside the EU handling data of EU residents.
- To meet GDPR standards, Ortto provides a user-driven opt-in form that appears on your business' websites. This form enables users to consent to Ortto tracking their activities through cookies.
Enabling this feature helps ensure that Ortto's tracking practices align with GDPR requirements, providing transparency and user control over their personal data.
