How many wildcard accounts are permitted when using two-factor authentication in Fortinet?

In Fortinet's two-factor authentication system, the configuration allows for one wildcard account. Wildcard accounts can simplify user management by allowing a range of usernames that share a common prefix or suffix to authenticate through the same credentials or settings.

By allowing only one wildcard account, the system maintains a balance between flexibility for user management and security. This limitation prevents unnecessary complexity that could arise from having multiple wildcard accounts, ensuring that the two-factor authentication remains effective and manageable within the organization's security framework. Having more than one would introduce potential vulnerabilities or administrative challenges, which is why the strict limit on the number of wildcard accounts is implemented.
