Clients; Preferred Multi-Factor Authentication for Portals can now be specified

Portals define a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method, e.g., "Authenticator App".

This is set on a per-Portal basis. The ability to override this for each Client is now available via the Web Access page of the Clients form.

By default, this will be blank and the Client will use the MFA method defined on the Portal.

However, it can be set to any of the 3 supported MFA methods:

• Email Code
• Authenticator App
• SMS Code

In addition, a special "Disable MFA" option is also available. This should be used with caution since, although it makes accessing the Portal much easier (e.g., for an elderly Client having trouble with any form of MFA), it does weaken security.

NOTE: If no MFA method is defined on the Portal, a Clients preferred MFA will be ignored.
