Two Factor Authentication

What is Two Factor Authentication?

Two factor Authentication (or 2FA, TFA, T-FA) is most commonly described as “something one knows combined with something one has”.

For example:

Something one knows’ could be a username and password

Something one has’ could be a physical token such as a USB device or one time passcode generator.

The secondary two factor method it an application which runs on most smart phones which generates a One Time Code. We support Blackberrys, IPhones, Windows Phones and Android with this software.

What if both phone and key fob are lost?

The two factor key fob or phone is not enough to access your system alone, a username and password is also required. Even so, lost or stolen devices should be reported immediately. Can the systems be accessed without a key fob or mobile phone? Yes, emergency access procedures are in place for such circumstances.
