Multifactor Authentication

Adding a second step to the sign in process makes your Factorial account safer

Multi factor authentication works for users accessing with email and password.  Single sign-on users won't have the Multi factor authentication available.

 

 

Why is MFA Important for Your Security?

At Factorial, protecting your account is our top priority. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring not just your password but also a second form of verification. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if someone else manages to obtain your password.

Think of it like a double-lock system for your account—your password is the first lock, and the MFA verification is the second. Together, they make your account much harder to break into.


 

How MFA Enhances Your Security?

Because your role gives you access to very sensitive information, such as financial data, customer details, or administrative controls, we’ve implemented additional security measures to protect your account.

This code will only be needed when you have logged out from the PC or a certain amount of time has passed since the last login.

We offer two options for MFA:

 

Email MFA

  1. When you sign in, we’ll send a unique, one-time code to your registered email address

 

2. You’ll need to enter this code to complete your login

3. If you don’t receive the email, you can easily request to resend it

 

Authenticator App MFA

  1. To use this option, you’ll first need to set it up by scanning a QR code we provide using an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator or Authy)

2. Once set up put the generated code in the input, the app will generate secure, time-sensitive codes for you to enter during login
