Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a multi-step account login process that requires users to enter more information than just a password. For example, along with the password, users might be asked to enter a code sent to their email, answer a secret question, or scan a fingerprint. A second form of authentication can help prevent unauthorized account access if a system password has been compromised.
In eZintegrations, we use Two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA is a specific type of multi-factor authentication (MFA) that strengthens access security by requiring two methods to verify your identity. These factors can include something you know — like a username and password — plus something you have — like a smartphone app — to approve authentication requests. 2FA protects against phishing, social engineering and password brute-force attacks and secures your logins from attackers exploiting weak or stolen credentials.

Enabling multifactor authentication:

Step 1: Log in to eZintegration.
Step 2: Click on “Settings” in the right-side panel and navigate to “Multi-Factor 
Authentication”.

Step 3: Toggle the “Enable Multi Factor Authentication” button.

Step 4: On toggling the “Enable Multi Factor Authentication” button, all the information regarding 2FA will be displayed, as shown in the image below.

Step 5: Download and install the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone. Complete the necessary initial app setup. Click on “Add a Code” or the “+” (plus) symbol, then choose “Scan the QR code”. Scan the QR code displayed on the 2FA information. After successful scanning, the authenticator app will generate a time-based code every 30 seconds. Enter the 
code from the app and click on the “Verify” button.

Step 6: Upon successful verification, a popup will appear, indicating “MFA enabled”. The “Multi Factor Authentication” button will be enabled. Click on the “Update” button, and a popup will confirm “Successfully Updated profile”. If you choose not to enable MFA, toggle the “Multi Factor Authentication” button. A popup will appear, stating “MFA disabled”. Click on the “Update” button at the bottom of the page, and another popup will confirm “Successfully Updated profile”.

Step 7: Whenever you log out and attempt to log in again, a popup will prompt you for the Multi Factor Authentication One Time Passcode. Enter the code displayed on the authenticator app and click on the “Sign” button to log in to eZintegration.
