Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a best-practice authentication method that improves security for user accounts and access requests. It adds an extra layer of verification beyond traditional username and password credentials.
Apono's implementation of MFA allows administrators to enforce additional authentication for specific access flows, particularly for sensitive environments or data.
When MFA is enabled for an access flow, you gain the following key benefits:
Enhanced security that blocks nearly 100% of
Access to Apono logs that record when MFA was performed
Support for all major authenticator apps
If an administrator has enabled MFA for a resource you are requesting, you will need to enable MFA for your account.
Follow these steps to complete the integration:
In the Apono UI, in the banner at the top of the page, click Set Up MFA. The Privacy & Security window appears.
You can also click your user avatar > Security & Privacy.
Under Multi-Factor Authentication, in the Add Authentication App box, click Set up. The Multi-Factor Authentication popup window appears.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the authentication setup. The MFA callout banner will disappear.
For any MFA-protected request, you will need to enter the six-digit code from your authenticator app. Your successful MFA will persist for an hour and apply to any requests made within this time.\
