Force Two-Factor Authentication on Next Login

I have the following enabled in WHM:

Two-Factor Authentication: ON
Configure Security Policies> Two-Factor Authentication: Google Authenticator: ON

Is there a way to force 2FA setup on the user's next login to CPanel?

Having these options turned on only allows the cPanel user to activate 2FA; it doesn't force them to set it up after login.

Is there a way to force it?

  that’s actually a good question — i’ve been wondering the same. had a few users skip setting up 2FA and just keep using their accounts like normal 😅

  would be nice if there was a setting that prompts them right after login and doesn’t let them skip it. maybe there’s a hook or custom script workaround? anyone tried that?

  curious what others are doing to enforce this.
