Multi-Factor Authentication
Learn how to enable multi-factor authentication for you and your company.
When you log onto the Dashboard, you have the ability to sign up for multi-factor authentication.
Finix supports SMS and Mobile Authenticator options. Users can opt into either option.
When an individual logs in with multi-factor authentication enabled, they'll be prompted to either enter a Code sent from Finix or enter a code from a mobile authenticator app such as Google Authenticator.
Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication for yourself
To enable multi-factor authentication for yourself on the dashboard:
- Navigate to the Company > User page
- Click on the Set Up MFA Link
A screen will appear asking whether to enable:
- SMS Authentication
- Mobile Authenticator
After choosing your selection, you can either:
- Enter a phone number to receive an SMS text (carrier text message rates may apply)
- Set up a mobile authenticator with Google Authenticator, Okta, or another provider.
When you have successfully enabled multi-factor authentication, you'll be routed to the same user page.
