Who can use this feature?
Workspace Owners, Super Admins, Admins, and Users
Account Owners
Only supported using the Cerby web and mobile apps
As an account Owner, you can set RSA tokens as the multi-factor authentication (MFA) method for your accounts.
NOTE: For more information about the MFA methods Cerby supports, refer to the article Explore MFA for your accounts managed by Cerby.
An RSA token combines a PIN (personal identification number) and a token code. This token can be either a physical device, such as a small key fob, or a software-based app on a smartphone or computer, generating a one-time passcode (OTP).
When you link the RSA token of your app provider to Cerby, the Cerby platform retrieves the OTP tokens generated by your RSA token provider. When linked, Cerby automatically retrieves the necessary RSA codes for logging in to your accounts. This integration streamlines the retrieval of codes to enable you to quickly access your application.
This article explains how to manage the RSA token integration in Cerby to enhance the security of your accounts.
IMPORTANT: If you want to enable RSA codes in your workspace for specific app providers, contact our Customer Support team at support@cerby.com. |
