MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

Instructions to set up your one time password in Meetingmax

What is multi-factor authentication?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires a user to provide two or more verification factors to log in to an application. Passwords are the most common method of authenticating a sign-in to a computer or online service, but they’re also the most vulnerable to third-party attacks. Users often choose easy passwords and/or use the same passwords to sign in to various computers, applications, and services.
 
To protect against password vulnerabilities, MFA uses both a password and an additional verification one-time password (OTP) generated on a smartphone. You may have seen this on sites like Amazon, Facebook, or your bank. It’s common practice to increase security. Essentially we want to ensure that it is in fact you logging in to Meetingmax.
