Make connections to your platform even more secure

About Two-factor authentication

Just one compromised password, and your entire platform is at risk 🔐

 

Even though we’re aware of the risks, many of us still use the same password across multiple sites. And if one of those sites is hacked, it’s easy for a malicious actor to try that password elsewhere—and thus log in to your platform by impersonating the user.

 

Two-factor authentication (2FA, or MFA) prevents this with an extra layer of verification: in addition to the password or SSO, the user must enter a 6-digit code generated by a two-factor authentication app. Without this code, a stolen password no longer grants access to the platform.

 

With its two-factor authentication app, Jamespot lets you add this layer of security to your collaborative platform and decide whether it’s optional or mandatory for all users.

 

How does it work ? 🤔

 

  • From the admin dashboard, enable two-factor authentication. You can choose to make it mandatory for everyone or optional.
  • The first time, the user sets up two-factor authentication for your platform by scanning the QR code or entering the secret key provided in an authentication app.
  • Then, every time they log in—after entering their password (or via SSO)—they enter the 6-digit code generated by their app before their session begins.

The benefits :

 

  • Enhanced security: With this two-factor verification, it becomes much more difficult for a malicious actor to gain access to your platform, even if they’ve stolen a user’s login credentials
  • A policy tailored to your organization: make two-factor authentication mandatory for everyone, or let each user choose.
  • A benefit for your security audits: two-factor authentication is one of the measures commonly required by standards such as ISO 27001, as well as in security questionnaires from your clients or cyber insurance providers.
