MFA for applications

MFA assists with safeguarding user accounts and data by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access to the Identity360 portal and applications. Admins can enable Identity360 authentication for the users as the primary method of verification. If Identity360 authentication is not enabled, the product will use Zoho Accounts authentication.

Prerequisites for authentication through Identity360:

1. It is essential to configure at least one cloud directory, such as Azure AD or G Suite Directory, in Identity360. Learn how to set up a directory.
2. Make sure that the users are appropriately licensed in their respective cloud directories. For more details, refer to License Management.
