Add Multi-Factor (MFA)​

Add a multi-factor (MFA) to the login settings of the instance. It affects all organizations, without custom login settings. Authentication factors are used as an additional layer of security for your users (e.g. Authentication App, FingerPrint, Windows Hello, etc). Per definition, it is called multi-factor factor or passwordless as it is used as first and second authentication and a password is not necessary. In the UI we generalize it as passwordless or passkey.
