What is MFA
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security method that enhances user identity verification beyond the traditional username and password combination.
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.
