Verifone Central

Overview

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is frequently used nowadays by enterprises to increase the security and protection of their data.

In Verifone Central users have access to sensitive data. Some roles execute payment actions with significant financial impact. Protecting all these capabilities only with a single password is a clear risk. Keeping the above in mind, we have introduced Multi-Factor Authentication, which requires the users to authenticate themselves using one-time password (OTP) in addition to their username and password.

However, considering that there are also users and roles in Verifone Central who do not have access to sensitive information or operations, we have set MFA as an option upon demand, that can be enabled and disabled at an organization level.

Availability

Multi-Factor Authentication in Verifone Central is an option that can be set up for merchants upon demand by a Verifone representative.

Benefits

• MFA provides additional security layers and decreases the chance of user identities becoming compromised.
• MFA reduces the risk of security breaches from occurring and keeps data protected.
• With MFA, even if one factor is compromised (like a password), the attacker will still need the other factor to gain access.
