MFA Settings

This documentation outlines the process for configuring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for the two-step verification process.

Multifactor Settings

• MFA stands for Multi-Factor Authentication, which is a security method used to enhance the protection of online accounts and systems.

• It involves requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification or authentication before they can access their accounts or sensitive information.

• The primary goal of MFA is to add an extra layer of security beyond just using a traditional username and password combination.

• Enable the authentication methods that you would like to offer your customers as part of Multi-Factor Authentication on your portal.

The following multifactor options are available in our portal, based on the business needs we can enable the multifactor options on this settings page:

Accessing the MFA Settings Tab

In the Admin Console, click the Settings->MFA Settings tab on the left.

• EMAIL: Authentication through email verification.

• SMS: Authentication through a one-time code sent via SMS.

• TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password): Authentication using temporary passwords that change periodically.

• OFFLINE_OTP(Backup Code): Authentication using a one-time password generated offline, often through hardware tokens.

• FIDO: Fast Identity Online, a standard for strong authentication using public key cryptography.

• FACE: Authentication using facial recognition technology.

• PATTERN: Authentication using a pre-defined geometric pattern drawn on a mobile phone.

• SMART_PUSH: Authentication using a mobile phone, often through push notifications.

• VOICE: Authentication based on voice recognition.

These methods provide a range of options for users to prove their identity, adding an extra layer of security to the authentication process.

If you enable any of the multifactor options, an alert window will open to confirm your selection. You can configure these MFA types in the blueprints.
