Multi-Factor Authentication

Overview

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that requires users to provide two or more verification factors when they log in. One factor is something the user knows, such as their username and password. Other factors include something the user has such as an authenticator app or a security code.
By adding additional factors to verify the users' identity, MFA makes it harder for common threats to succeed.

Multi-Factor Authentication is an opt-in feature, allowing organizations and users to enable or disable it based on their internal security requirements. However, enabling MFA is highly recommended to enhance security and protect access to your data.

In eBECAS/EDMISS, system administrators have the ability to enforce MFA for the entire organization. Additionally, users can individually opt-in to use other MFA methods beyond those established by the organization.

Topics

Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication On Your Organisation — System Administrators can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the entire organization. Once enabled, MFA will be enforced organization-wide, requiring all users to provide an additional authentication factor when logging in.

Use Authenticator App for Multi-Factor Authentication — Using an Authenticator App for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the best way to secure your account. This method adds an extra layer of security by requiring a separate device for login, ensuring that only you can access your account.
