Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
When you log in to Connect Online, you will provide a username and a password to prove you are who you say you are. Some users may use the same password for more than one account and that can make the password a higher security risk. You can add another level of security by adding multi-factor authentication, which means using a username, password, and another authentication method.
Connect Online, MFA 6-digit code
Multi-factor authentication, also known as Two-Factor Authentication or Two-Step Authentication, will add an additional step to the log in process. After a user logs in, the user will be prompted to enter an MFA code. The MFA code is generated by a device, such as a laptop, smart phone, or tablet, running an authentication application. The authentication application generates a code that is only valid for the user to use during a limited window of time. After the window expires, the code can't be used anymore.
Connect Online uses the username, password, and MFA code to authenticate the user.
The Multi-factor Authentication feature is included in the 2023.11 release. It's for organizations that would like a more secure login process for Connect Online.
