Who can use this feature?
Workspace Owners, Super Admins, Admins, and Users
Account Owners
Supported using the Cerby mobile app and web app.
As an account Owner, you can turn on and manage multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your accounts using the Cerby mobile app.
Unlike traditional authenticator apps tied to a single device or user, Cerby generates and securely distributes time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) to all users with shared access to the account.
When MFA is turned on with this verification method, Cerby fills in the six-digit security codes required during login. Therefore, you can reduce manual overhead, eliminate the need to share physical devices, and ensure consistent access for all users with account permissions, while maintaining a secure authentication process.
IMPORTANT: After turning on MFA manually and configuring the authenticator and verification methods with Cerby, you can retrieve verification codes from the Cerby browser extension or the Cerby mobile app when logging in to your apps. |
