Multi-factor authentication is a multi-step account login process that requires users to complete an authentication step in addition to entering their password. Often, an MFA will send a user an authentication code to their mobile device or email that can then be entered alongside the password.
To finalize your Beacon account, registering users will be asked to select their preferred multi-factor authentication method. Based on your preferences, select from SMS text, email verification or authenticator app.
The SMS text option will send a one-time code to the mobile number provided.
The email verification option will send a one-time code to the email address initially provided.
The authenticator app option will require registering users download and utilize an authenticator app to scan the QR code in order to generate a one-time code.
