SMS-based Multi-Factor Authentication added
The ability for finPOWER Connect Cloud to use SMS-based 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 6-letter code that has been sent to them.
If the User's session times out, they will again be required to enter a new Multi-Factor Authentication code.
The following BLOG describes Multi-Factor Authentication in more detail:https://www.intersoft.co.nz/Blog/Default.aspx?id=BLOG.FINCC202011.MFA
NOTE: This BLOG pre-dates the "SMS Code" Authentication Method but the "Email Code" method is almost identical.
Many on-screen messages have also been tidied up to refer to "MFA" instead of "2FA".
