Multi-Factor Authentication Configuration

Overview

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security method that requires additional authentication information beyond just a password. Common additional authentication methods include physical or virtual OTPs (One Time Passwords), biometric verification, and email.

In QueryPie, administrators can set Google OTP or Email as the second authentication method from the admin page.

• Under the Server Connection Security section, set Access Server with MFA to "Enable" and select either Google OTP or Email for the MFA Type. (The default value for Access Server with MFA is Disable.)
