What is MFA
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security method that enhances user identity verification beyond the traditional username and password combination.
โ
Why is it important
MFA significantly reduces the risk of successful cyber attacks. Unlike just relying on a username and password, MFA adds an extra layer of security.
Usernames and passwords can be vulnerable to attacks or theft by third parties.

Why is Procurify implementing MFA
Our Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) feature enhances account security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification before accessing their accounts. This feature, integrated with Auth0, adds a critical layer of security beyond traditional password authentication.
Key Components:
Authentication Methods: Users authenticate using both their usual login credentials and a one-time password (OTP) generated by an authentication app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Auth0 Guardian.
Implementation Scope:
Web Application: The MFA feature is currently available through our web application, ensuring enhanced security for web-based logins.
Domain-wide Setting: The setting is across the entire domain, ensuring uniform security protocols for all users within your domain without individual exceptions.
