What is Two Factor Auth?

Get stronger identity assurance.

Passwords are too easy to share, steal, or guess. When staff use static passwords, there’s no way to determine if the intended user is logged in, or if it’s someone pretending to be them. Just one leaked password could allow an intruder to gain access to sensitive company information.

With two-factor authentication, users sign in securely and conveniently, whether in the office or working remotely. Your systems are kept secure and all activity is traced in an irrefutable audit log so you know only the right people are getting in. With AuthAnvil Two Factor Auth, companies gain the assurance that staff can safely work remotely on virtually any device.

Instead of a static password, staff use two factors of authentication. Staff input their chosen PIN (what they know), and then a one-time password generated from an app on their smartphone (what they have). It’s similar to a bank card: you provide your card (what you have) and input a PIN (what you know). Essentially, you offer two factors to authenticate who you are, before gaining access.
