Managing Two-Factor Authentication

Acumatica ERP provides two-factor authentication, so that access to the system is granted only after the user successfully presents to the system additional evidence of authentication in addition to the user credentials (that is, the username and password). At the system level, a system administrator can require two-factor authentication or turn off this authentication (the default setting). In addition, the administrator can specify different settings for individual users with regard to two-factor authentication. If two-factor authentication is required, the user needs to authenticate the sign-in operation by using one of the specified authentication methods.

The topics of this chapter provide details about the configuration and use of the two-factor authentication.
