Multi-Factor Authentication

The Nirmata Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) allows you to authenticate users from independent categories of credentials for a login or other transaction.

NOTE: By default MFA is disabled for all the users. MFA settings are only applicable for users with Nirmata as the Identity Provider. When enabled, all users will be required to use MFA


To enable MFA for all the users

  1. Click the Identity & Access > MFA.

  2. Click the “Enable MFA for all users with Nirmata as the identity provider” in the MFA screen.
