MFA Becoming Mandatory for HOPS Admins

HOPS encourages users to make user of multi-factor authentication to keep their accounts, and their railway's data, secure: https://www.hops.org.uk/help/mfa

MFA is recommended for all users who have access to details about other users, so effectively everyone down as far as heads of departments and roster clerks.

MFA will become mandatory for HOPS Admins from 1 March 2026 - that's users with permissions 015 (administer permissions) and 080 (admin-login as other users).

If you have these permissions, you can be ready in good time by setting up MFA on your account in advance of the deadline by visiting the 'person' avatar in the top right hand corner of HOPS and selecting My HOPS Account and then scrolling down to 'Multi-Factor Authentication' and following the prompts.

Any HOPS user can set up MFA on their account if they wish to.

If you have any questions please contact your HOPS Admin, or open a support ticket if you are a HOPS Admin.
