Multi-Factor Authentication
Purpose: Multi-Factor Authentication is also called 2-step verification. It will force to the user to enter the more than one set of authentications in login time.
Initially user is using the basic user name and password but that is not more secure. So, we have added the more security to the user account by the 2-step verification. In this situation user need to enter the passcode or token in addition to the basic password. User/Admin mobile will generate the token/passcode through the authenticator app. This 2-step verification is required to both user as well as Admin.
Note: Multi-Factor Authentication is supports only the Google Authenticator app.
