What is it about? 👀

To increase the security of your access to the Purple platform, we have developed a Multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanism. By enabling this feature, you must confirm your identity using a second device (like your smartphone) when logging in to the Purple platform to prevent misuse of your credentials. In addition, if you want to make MFA mandatory for your entire team, Purple Manager provides an option to enforce Multi-factor authentication for all team members.

Multi-factor authentication in Purple

Your benefits 🤓

Multi-factor authentication significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access, even if your password is compromised. It provides an extra layer of security to ensure that only authorised users can access and make changes to your Purple platform. This additional barrier is precious in protecting against potential breaches. Enforcing MFA across your team is a convenient way to ensure all internal users adhere to your security standards.
