11. Define the methods that should be available to the user to execute a Two-Factor Authentication.
If you only check one method, the user will have to apply that method plus the username & password for the login procedure.
If you check more than one method, the user will be able to choose which one he wants to use along with the username & password.
Two-Factor Authentication |
|
SMS |
Only available if the user has a mobile phone number defined in the left panel. Check this option so the user can choose to use the code provided via SMS (plus the username/password) to log in. |
Check this method to make it available to the user when he logs in - he will be able to select this method and use it along with the username/password. The required code will be sent to the email address defined in the left panel. |
|
Authenticator Application |
Check this option so the user can choose the authenticator application method (plus the username/password) as part of the Two-Factor Authentication to log in. Once this is applied (= changes are saved) an email will be sent to the user with instructions for the configuration of the authenticator application. For more info, see To Set Up the Authenticator Application. |
If you do NOT check any of the options, the Two-Factor Authentication will NOT be activated and the new user will only need his username/password to log in to MCL-Mobility Platform .

The page will be set to view mode with the information you added.
