Optional tab, it is displayed only if it is configured to have an authentication method applied additionally after passing the checks of the first and second factors

Authentication methods are grouped by the first and second factor. To enable the authentication method, you must first configure it.

Note

The second factor is used to “strengthen” the first factor, e.g, the user in addition to the password is required to enter a special code, generated by mobile application

The set of methods may vary depending on the type of license used. To go to the method settings, click the button Go to the method configuration (when the method is initially configured) or link Go to Settings (to adjust the current preset settings).

Refer to the following sections for guidelines on how to configure each method. To enable or disable an authentication method, set the switch to the desired position.
