Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) secures your account by requesting a verification code in addition to providing a username and password to log in. Having 2FA in place helps you minimize the risk of data breaches, malware, and other forms of cyberattacks.

Emplifi offers the following 2FA implementation options:

• Mandatory 2FA

  • 2FA is turned on at the level of the Emplifi account and is forced to all users in this account.

  • All users in the account are required to provide a verification code after they submit their email and password on the Emplifi login screen.

  • By default, the verification code is delivered to the email that the user uses to log in to the Emplifi account.

  • The user can switch from getting the code from their email to getting the code via an authenticator application and back as they need.

  • The users cannot disable 2FA for themselves.

  • For more information, see Set Up Mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

• Opt-in 2FA

  • 2FA is available as an option for each individual user in the Emplifi account but is not forced.

  • Each user can enable and disable 2FA for themselves as they need.

  • To enable 2FA, the user has to install and set up an authenticator application on their mobile device.

  • The authenticator application generates the verification code that the user is required to provide after they submit their email and password on the Emplifi login screen.

  • The user cannot use any other method of getting the verification code except for the authenticator application.
