The Multi-Factor Authentication feature allows companies to implement a secondary level in the user login process. This feature is activated in the Password Policy function in the System Administrator module.

 

When this feature is activated, the Multi-Factor Authentication Setup window in the System Bar becomes accessible.

Note: The Multi-Factor Authentication window will be displayed on the following conditions:

•After the user's successful registration to multi-factor authentication.

•When the user's MFA authentication is expired. This is based on the value set in the Authentication expiration (days) field in the Password Policy function.

 

 

 

To set up user's email account information for multi-factor authentication, perform the following:

 

1.Access the Multi-Factor Authentication Setup function from the User Account Settings list in the System Bar.

 

2.The Activate Multi-Factor Authentication checkbox is marked and disabled. This indicates that the feature is successfully activated. If the checkbox is not marked by default, be sure to mark the checkbox to activate the feature.

 

3.Enter in the Email field the user's email address where the 6-digit verification code will be sent upon login attempt to AccountMate Enterprise. Be sure that the email address entered here is valid and active.

 

4.When you are ready, click the OK button to save your settings; otherwise, click Cancel.

 

5.In the second window that appears, enter the 6-digit verification code (one-time code) that was sent to the email address you provided in the Email field in the first window. Alternatively, you may copy the verification to the Windows clipboard and paste it on this window. You have the option to resend the code if you did not receive it.
