Multi-Factor Authentication (Feature Overview)

Introduction

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security-enhancing practice of requiring a person to perform more than one step, beyond email and password, for example, when logging into a system. ShulCloud offers two additional step options, plus the ability for admins to specify which of those options are available or required based on whether the person is an admin or non-admin. Both options require the person to enter a valid verification code in order to complete MFA and successfully log into ShulCloud. Other actions, such as a person resetting their password, also trigger MFA. Login and password related admin actions on non-admin accounts do not trigger MFA (such as log in as Account Primary).

Audience

This increased security feature will be important to understand by ShulCloud Administrators.

Use Cases

MFA can be implemented in order to increase security to your ShulCloud site and data. ShulCloud admins can decide to implement MFA for admins only or for all site users (non-admins).

Before You Begin

Before you begin, you will want to:

  • Review MFA Settings
  • Decide who will be required to use MFA (admins and/or non-admins)
  • Understand the two verification options (Email or Authentication App)
