Access Ledger - (MFA) Multi-factor Authentication setup in Access Ledger

Updated over 2 months ago

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security system that requires more than one form of authentication to verify a transaction or to enable access to a program. MFA combines two or more independent credentials; what you know (a password), what you have (a security token or number), and who you are (fingerprint).
​
To enable MFA, you must acquire an Authenticator application to which you can link your programs. Authenticator applications are typically installed on mobile devices such as mobile phones.
​
There are many authenticator applications available, but the following free IOS and Android mobile applications have been tested to work with Access Ledger.

  • Google Authenticator

  • Microsoft Authenticator

  • Okta Verify

When you link Access Ledger to an authenticator application, in addition to your login name and password, you are required to enter a single-use 6-digit code every time you log in. The code is only valid for a short period, typically 30 seconds, before a new code is generated.

Important: For the authentication to be successful the device providing the 6-digit authentication codes needs to reflect the exact same time and time zone as the device that you using to connect to Access Ledger.
