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.
