MFA

Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection to your AdvaPACS account. When MFA is enabled, you will need to enter a verification code from an authenticator app when signing in.MFA helps protect your account even if your password is compromised.

Types of MFA​

AdvaPACS offers two types of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and it is important to understand the differences:

  • TOTP (Time-based One-Time Passwords) – TOTP MFA is the most common type, where you will be prompted to enter a 6 digit code when you log in. This code is generated via an Authentication App, often on your phone.

  • Passkeys – Passkeys are a modern web standard that enables secure, passwordless authentication. Instead, it lets you use things like your fingerprint, face recognition, or a physical security key to prove who you are.
