Multi-Factor Authentication added

The ability for finPOWER Connect Cloud to use Multi-Factor Authentication has been added. This is configured under the finPOWER Connect Cloud Configuration form, General, Security page in finPOWER Connect desktop.

When enabled, upon entering their User Id and Password, the User will then be prompted to enter a code. This will be either a code sent via email or a 6-digit code generated from an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator.

If the User's session times out, they will again be required to enter a new Multi-Factor Authentication code.

The User menu, Change Password form now requires the User to re-sign in after changing their password if Multi-Factor Authentication is enabled.

The following BLOG describes Multi-Factor Authentication in more detail:
