Security is a top priority for any business, especially when it comes to safeguarding your strategy. At StratNavApp, we understand this concern and are committed to ensuring that your strategic plans are protected from unauthorised access. That’s why we offer multi-factor authentication (MFA), an essential feature designed to add an extra layer of protection to your account.
What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Multi-factor authentication is a security process where users must provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a system. Rather than relying solely on a password, MFA adds a second verification method—usually a one-time password (OTP) by email or a notification to your mobile device. This reduces the likelihood that an unauthorised person can gain access to your sensitive information.
In short, MFA adds an extra step to verify that it's really you trying to log in.
How Multi-Factor Authentication Works in StratNavApp
StratNavApp provides multi-factor authentication depending on your account type and how you log in:
-
Google Single Sign-On (SSO): all users who access StratNavApp using Google SSO can rely on Google’s built-in MFA feature. This prompts you to confirm your identity via Google Authenticator, an OTP, or a push notification.
-
Enterprise users using email and password combinations can activate MFA directly within StratNavApp. This prompts you to confirm your identity using an OTP sent directly to your account's email address.
How to activate StratNavApp's inbuilt MFA
To activate MFA as an enterprise user, follow these simple steps:
- Go to your Account Settings – Log in to your StratNavApp account and navigate to the Account Settings page.
- Enable MFA – Look for the security settings and switch on multi-factor authentication.
- Receive an OTP – Once activated, each time you log in with your email and password, you’ll be sent a one-time password (OTP) to your registered email account.
- Enter the OTP – Enter the code in the OTP Challenge Screen to complete the authentication process.
Note: Your OTP is only valid for 10 minutes. Once it has expired, you will need to return to the Logon screen and start again.
This feature ensures that even if someone manages to guess your password, they would still need access to your email account to complete the login process.
The Benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication
Now that you know how MFA works, let's explore the key benefits of using this feature:
1. Stronger Security 🔒
Passwords alone can be vulnerable to phishing attacks, weak passwords, or simple guesswork. By requiring a second factor like an OTP, MFA greatly increases your account's security.
2. Peace of Mind
When dealing with highly confidential business strategies, peace of mind is priceless. With MFA in place, you can be even more assured that your strategies and plans are safely stored on StratNavApp.
3. Protection Against Cyber Attacks 🛡️
In today's world, cyber attacks are on the rise. Adding MFA to your login process drastically reduces the chances of a successful breach. A hacker might crack your password, but without the second authentication factor, they can’t get into your account.
4. User-Friendly 👍
MFA may sound complex, but it’s incredibly user-friendly. StratNavApp sends the OTP directly to your email, ensuring a smooth and convenient login experience without compromising on security.
5. Customisable for Enterprise Users
Enterprise users can activate and manage MFA directly within StratNavApp. This gives businesses greater control over their security settings, enabling them to protect sensitive strategy data even more effectively.
