Frequently Asked Questions

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an additional layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity using two or more verification methods:

1. Something they know (password, PIN)
2. Something they have (mobile device, security key)
3. Something they are (biometrics like fingerprint or face)

AuthAction's MFA implementation is highly customizable, allowing you to configure which factors are required based on risk level, user role, or other contextual factors. Our adaptive MFA can also adjust security requirements based on user behavior and risk signals.

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials. When a user logs into one application, they are automatically authenticated for all other connected applications without needing to log in again.

AuthAction's SSO solution supports all major protocols including SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. Our implementation allows for seamless integration with your existing applications and third-party services, creating a unified authentication experience for your users while maintaining centralized control over access policies.
