Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Ideagen Risk Management
Who is this article for?Site Administrators who want to learn more about Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) functionality.
Site Admin permissions are required.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that uses two (or more) distinct mechanisms to validate a User's identity, instead of relying on a simple username and password combination. This article will answer some of the high-level questions about the functionality so you can decide if it's suitable for you.
In this article:
1. Overview
Benefits
Users need to confirm their identity with a mechanism that is unique to them, reducing likelihood of identity theft, cyberattacks, and data breaches.
Using MFA
Once configured, each User accessing the site will need to use MFA to access it.
Each time a User tries to log in using their regular credentials, they will then be prompted to input a 6-digit PIN number which is sent to them via email.
2. Configuring MFA
To implement MFA, we need to make a change to your site.
Raise a request with our Support Team to get the process started!
Already using Single Sign On (SSO) on your site?
We are only able to enable this function for sites that aren't already configured for SSO. To enable your users to use MFA, speak to your SSO provider.
