Erik Bakker 22.1 3 In today’s digital landscape, securing access to sensitive information is more crucial than ever. This microlearning module is designed to guide you through configuring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on your user account. MFA adds an essential layer of security by requiring a two-step verification process before granting access to protected data. Throughout this microlearning, you'll learn how to set up MFA to ensure your account remains secure as you navigate the eMagiz platform.

Erik Bakker 27.1 25 At the moment, the eMagiz portal is secured in such a way that MFA is **required** upon login. Therefore it is **mandatory** to activate MFA on your user account the first time you log in. Note that the MFA is valid for eight 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.
