If you currently use our ScreenConnect or Automate software for remote access to your computer, you will be required to set up Multi-Factor Authentication by January 5th.
What is Multi-Factor Authentication?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a common security measure to protect an account in addition to a password. Here’s how it works: after setting up MFA, when you enter your account login and password, you will also be prompted for a code. MFA codes are often given via an email, a text message, or through an “authenticator” app on your phone.
Why the change?
MFA is a best practice in the security world (insurance companies are also requiring it), because of this we will be enforcing this to reduce the risk to you that someone may hack remote access to your computer.
