Security Enhancements for Users

Introduction

Security Enhancements introduce enterprise-grade authentication controls for users, including password-free onboarding and two-factor authentication (2FA), to strengthen account protection and support organizational compliance requirements.

What’s New?

  • Secure password-free onboarding: Admins can create user accounts without setting or sharing passwords. A secure activation link is sent directly to the user, allowing them to create their own credentials privately.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): An additional verification step can now be required during login. Users must enter a verification code (sent via email or SMS) alongside their password.
  • Customizable password rotation policies: Admins can enforce company-wide password expiration policies (30, 60, 90, or 180 days). The system automatically sends reminders to users when updates are required.

Note: Action is required for your IT / Email Security team (if you use IP-based allowlisting).
Please add the following Amazon SES IP address ranges to your organization’s email allowlist/firewall for inbound email from Motive:

  • 199.255.192.0/22
  • 199.127.232.0/22
  • 54.240.0.0/18
  • 54.240.64.0/19
  • 54.240.96.0/19
  • 69.169.224.0/20
  • 23.249.208.0/20
  • 23.251.224.0/19
  • 76.223.176.0/20
  • 76.223.128.0/19
  • 216.221.160.0/19
  • 206.55.144.0/20

These ranges are operated by Amazon SES and are used by Motive for outbound email. If your environment relies only on domain-based authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) and does not enforce IP-based allowlists, no configuration change should be required.

How does this help our customers?

  • Enhanced security and privacy: Eliminates password sharing and reduces the risk associated with credential exposure.
  • Stronger access protection: Two-factor authentication adds a critical additional layer of defense against unauthorized access.
  • Compliance readiness: Enforceable password policies and 2FA help organizations meet internal IT standards and external compliance requirements.
  • Reduced security gaps: Automated reminders and secure activation workflows minimize human error in user account management.
