Synto: New features

(2023 – Q1) General – Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) strengthens security by requiring that users provide at least two pieces of evidence, or authentication factors, to prove their identity. By requiring multiple authentication factors, MFA provides a higher level of assurance about the user’s identity. Even if one of the factors has been compromised, the chances that all of the factors have been compromised are low.

This feature is not enabled by default.  The client needs to discuss with his PM.
