Two factor Authentication is set up, but I am able to log in without it

My accountant is requiring me to set up 2FA. I have tried setting it up using both the SMS option and the Authenticator app option. I have followed all the steps and saved the changes. Yet when I log out and log back in, it’s letting me right into Box - it’s not requiring 2FA. Usually I use Chrome as my browser, but I decided to try Safari and only the first time did it require me to use the authenticator app. After that it let me in without it. I tried deleting cookies, etc. but it still is not requiring 2FA.
