Enable Multi-Factor Authentication from the User Profile Menu

Multi-Factor Authentication

Protecting your online accounts is more important than ever. While strong passwords are a great start, they alone may not be enough to keep your account safe from unauthorized access. That’s where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) comes in.

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification beyond just your password. This could be a code provided by an authentication app or password manager, sent to your phone, or a fingerprint scan, among others. Even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without this additional verification.

Enabling MFA is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to safeguard your personal and sensitive information. We strongly encourage you to activate MFA for your account to ensure it's protected against potential threats. Below are the steps required to enable MFA and configure your authentication app.

Before setting up MFA, ensure that you or your users have a Password manager or Authentication App that has been tested for compatibility. Authentication Apps not listed may be suitable for use, however we recommend always testing any applications to ensure compatibility.
