Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) secures your Emplifi account by requesting a verification code in addition to providing a username and password to log in. Having MFA in place helps you minimize the risk of data breaches, malware, and other forms of cyberattacks.
Emplifi offers the following MFA implementation options:
Mandatory MFA
MFA 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 add an authenticator application to their MFA to obtain the code from the application instead of the email.
The users cannot disable MFA for themselves.
For more information, see Set Up Mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Opt-in MFA
MFA is available as an option for each individual user in the Emplifi account but is not forced.
Each user can enable and disable MFA for themselves as they need.
To enable MFA, 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.
