In our continuous effort to ensure the highest level of security for our users, we are excited to announce we will soon be introducing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ABC Study website. This new security feature adds an extra layer of protection to your account, making it significantly more difficult for unauthorised individuals to gain access to your data.
What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
MFA is a security system that requires more than one method of authentication of credentials to verify the user’s identity. This means that in addition to your regular login credentials (email address or username and password), you will need to provide an additional form of verification. This is a code that will be sent to your registered email address.
Why are we implementing MFA?
- Enhanced Security: Passwords alone are not enough to protect against all cyber threats. MFA reduces the risk of compromised accounts by adding an additional layer of security.
- Protecting Your Data: By implementing MFA, we are taking proactive steps to protect your personal and sensitive information.
- Compliance: Many industries and regulatory bodies now recommend or require MFA as a standard security measure.
How will this affect you?
Here’s a step-by-step guide on what you need to do when MFA is enabled:
- Login as Usual: Enter your username and password.
- Verification: Complete the login process by entering a security code sent to your registered email address.
- Complete Login: Once verified, you will complete the login process and gain access to your account.
