Multi-factor Authentication on Outplay

Multiple factors, maximum security!

Multi-Factor Authentication, or MFA, is a security system that requires more than one method of authentication to login to Outplay. It is designed to provide an additional layer of security for Outplay accounts and protect against unauthorized access.



It is becoming increasingly important for businesses to implement MFA to protect sensitive information and prevent data breaches.

NOTES:
* On Outplay, MFA can be enabled on the Admin and User Level. However, Admin Level setting configuration for multi-factor authentication is offered priority.
* Install Google Authenticator or any authenticator app on your mobile device.
