Time-Based Tokens work with any OATH software such as Google Authentication for Android, or Apple’s OATH Token App for example.
Once activated, users will be required to provide a second form of Authentication that only they have access to. This Authentication comes in the form of a 6 digit passcode that expires every 30 seconds.
How does it work?
Upon initial signing once Token-Based Two-Factor Authentication is activated and users will be presented with a QR code to scan using their smartphone or a tablet device.
Once this is scanned, their device will then store authorisation to generate a passcode and authentication to your Client Area.
Every 30 seconds, a new 6-digit code will be generated through their OATH application of choice which will be used as their second form of Authentication during login to your Client Area.
