Automox is committed to elevating the security posture of every organization – as such, we’ve signed the CISA Secure by Design Pledge and set what should be the standard in our industry by providing Security for All, Always

In another step forward, Automox has made Multi-Factor Authentication a requirement in all accounts, providing greater security by authenticating something you know, and something you have. We encourage others to take the final step in authenticating who you are and fully implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

When it comes to MFA, verification of three critical factors is required.

3 Vital Authentication Factors for MFA

You must authenticate: 

  1. Something you know (like your complex password or passing through your Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication).

  2. Something you have (like a smartphone, security token/key, or separately authenticated account).

  3. And who you are (You’re human, right? Verification of that fact can occur via fingerprints, face-scanning, or by confirming other biometric data). 

If you’re looking to set up 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) verification for your Automox account, check out this easy how-to. Ticking all three boxes is surprisingly simple! 

And for the last step, verifying your human identity, when you enroll Automox into your authenticator app, just make sure that the mobile device you’ve installed the app on requires FaceID (Face Unlock on Android) and TouchID (Fingerprint Scanner on Android). And that’s it!
