Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires users to provide two or more verification methods to gain access to an account, system, or application. This extra layer of security reduces the risk of unauthorized access, as even if one authentication factor (like a password) is compromised, the attacker would still need the additional factors. 


Step-by-Step Guide to Enable MFA in Staffpoint (Only available to admin):


  1. Log into Staffpoint:

    • Use your administrator credentials to access the Staffpoint system.

  2. Navigate to Administration Management:

    • Once logged in, locate the Administration Management section in the dashboard or menu.

  3. Select the Admins for MFA Access:

    • Under Administration Management, find the list of admins.
    • Select the specific admins that you want to have access to the MFA feature.

  4. Go to Preferences:

    • After selecting the admins, go to the Preferences section where you can adjust security settings.

  5. Turn on MFA for Admin, Client, or Personnel:

    • In Preferences, you will see an option to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
    • Choose whether you want to turn on MFA for:
      • Admins
      • Clients
      • Personnel
    • You can select to require MFA for all admins, clients, or personnel, or set it manually for selected individuals.

  6. Manual Activation (Optional):

    • If you don’t want MFA to be mandatory for everyone, you can manually enable MFA for individual admins, clients, or personnel by selecting them and enabling MFA for their specific account.

  7. Save the Settings:

    • Once you’ve made the desired selections, be sure to save the changes to apply MFA.

This process will ensure that MFA is enabled for the desired users in your Staffpoint system, adding an extra layer of security to their accounts.
