Setting Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Cybersecurity is crucial, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a way to significantly enhance your account security.

When MFA is enabled you will require a password and a second form of verification to sign in to your Medtribe account. An authenticator app will work as your second form of verification for Medtribe.

What is an Authenticator App?

An authenticator app generates a temporary, secure code for two-factor authentication, enhancing login security.

Choosing an Authenticator App

Before setting up MFA, download an authenticator app to your device.

Potential options include:

• Google Authenticator (Android and iOS)
• Microsoft Authenticator (Android and iOS)
• Authy (Android and iOS)

These apps are available for free on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
