13 This microlearning centers around learning to configure MFA on your user account.
14
15 With MFA, we mean Multi-factor authentication that prevents you from accessing sensitive data without going through a two-step authentication process.
16
17 MFA can help you:
18 - Secure data
19 - Better verify who is logging in

21 == 3. Configure MFA - User Account ==
22
23 In the previous microlearning, we learned a bit about the security basics of the eMagiz portal.
24 In this microlearning, we will build on that by learning how to configure MFA for your user account.
25
26 At the moment, the eMagiz portal is secured to gain access to the Production environment of any customer-related eMagiz model. MFA is activated by default. In the future, we will expand this to request MFA on login for all users to enhance our security. Therefore it is mandatory to activate MFA on your user account. Note that the MFA is valid for 8 hours except for logging out. When you log out, the MFA code is automatically expired. This means that when you log in again within that timeframe, you still need to provide the MFA code again.
