By default, the Email-based OTP option is enabled for the user, select the SMS-based OTP if required.

Before that, the user needs to verify the mobile number from Edit Profile Section.Note:

Using Two Factor Authentication (2FA)
With MSSP 3.1 release dated 22/04/2023, the earlier Google Authenticator App based 2FA process has been eliminated. Now we have introduced Simple MFA with Email and SMS based OTP. By default, you will receive the OTP on your registered email address.
As a security enhancement, the Super administrator has the ability to enable 2FA for users. This feature requires a two-step verification process, thereby providing a higher level of security for the user’s account. Apart from the regular username and password, the user must also provide an OTP that is generated on their email address or registered mobile number.
Note:
At present, SMS-based OTP authentication is available for mobile numbers with ISD code +91. This means that users with mobile numbers registered in India can receive a one-time password via SMS for authentication purposes.
- Login to the MSSP portal using your regular username (email) and password.
- The Two-factor Authentication screen appears.
Note:
If 2FA authentication is not enabled, then the 2FA Authentication screen does not appear and you are automatically logged in to the MSSP portal. - Enter the OTP sent to your registered email or mobile number. This OTP is valid for only 60 seconds.
- Click Verify.
You will be logged in to the MSSP portal.Note:
• 2FA is enabled for Super admin role for all new tenants by default. When Super admin creates any user, he can enable 2FA for that user. Users will be notified by an email when Super admin enables or disables 2FA for any user.
