'''Multi-Factor Authentication(MFA)''' is a method of authentication in which a user is granted access to your SmartSimple Cloud system only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism.
The security impact of '''Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)''' is that while a user might lose their authentication device or get tricked into sharing a password, the odds of both happening to a single user are dramatically reduced. Using MFA therefore enhances an organization's security by requiring users to identify themselves with more than their login credentials.
* '''Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) '''via an authenticator app, which is more secure and suitable for users with increased access such as global administrators or internal staff
* '''Single Use Verification Code '''sent via email or SMS, which is better suited for external users or users who login infrequently infrequently
