Multifactor Authentication (MFA) Integration & Setup

Devox can integrate a wide range of authentication factors tailored to your needs, including OTPs via SMS or email, app-based codes, push notifications, biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial recognition), and hardware tokens. We’ll work with you to select the optimal factors for both security and user convenience.

There are 5 examples of multifactor authentication:

• Knowledge-Based Factors (Something You Know): include any information a user must remember, such as passwords, PINs, or answers to security questions.
• Possession-Based Factors (Something You Have): require a physical device or object that the user possesses (one-time password, USB device, hardware tokens, smartphone app, etc.)
• Inherence-Based Factors (Something You Are): biometrics fall into this category, using physical traits unique to each user
• Location-Based Factors (Somewhere You Are): uses geographical information to verify identity, based on where the user is physically located (GPS data, IP address, etc.)
• Time-Based Factors (When You Are): although less common, some systems restrict access based on the time of access. For example, a user might be permitted to log in only during certain hours or days. This is often combined with other factors to enhance security.

The timeline for multifactor authentication setup varies depending on the complexity of your product and existing infrastructure. On average, the process can range from a few days for basic setups to several weeks for complex integrations. Devox conducts an initial assessment to provide an accurate timeline and keeps you updated throughout the process.

While every security measure is believed to be taking from the interface convenience rather than giving, Devox designs MFA implementations to be user-friendly and minimally intrusive. We work to create a smooth authentication flow that adds security without causing unnecessary friction, ensuring a seamless experience across mobile and desktop devices for all users.

Devox follows industry best practices and aligns MFA configurations with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Our team conducts security audits and provides logging and reporting capabilities, ensuring your MFA setup meets compliance standards and supports audit requirements.

Yes, Devox includes self-service recovery options in your MFA setup to help users regain access securely if they lose an authentication factor. We configure fallback methods, such as backup codes or identity verification questions, to ensure reliable access recovery while maintaining strong security.

A Multifactor Authentication (MFA) client is a software application or interface that facilitates the MFA process by helping users verify their identity with multiple authentication factors. It works by interacting with the multifactor authentication server to prompt the user for additional verification, like entering a one-time passcode or approving a push notification. The client can be installed on devices such as smartphones, tablets, or desktops, and ensures secure access to systems, applications, or business networks.

Devox’s Multifactor Authentication setup offers a highly customizable and integrated approach tailored specifically to your business needs. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions like Duo, Devox provides flexibility in selecting authentication factors, adaptive configurations, and compliance-focused features that align directly with your industry requirements. Our team ensures seamless integration with your existing infrastructure, delivering a tailored MFA solution that scales as your organization grows, providing dedicated support and continuous optimization that’s often unmatched by pre-built solutions.
