What is 2FA?

"2FA" refers to Multi-factor Authentication. In short this is a process of adding an additional layer of security beyond simply a username & password.

We often are asked "where can I actually use 2FA?". This is a pretty vague and often troubling question for customers. Multi-factor Authentication has several uses. 

• Protecting Windows desktop logins.
• Adding 2FA to a VPN or other appliance that supports RADIUS.
• Adding 2FA to your RMM (Remote Management) tool.
• Adding 2FA to popular PSA (Professional Services Automation) Tools.
• Adding your own customer integration using our publicly available API.

Windows desktops

Whether you are using a Windows Desktop, Laptop, Workstation or Server we can add a Windows Credential Provider to add an 2FA requirement to the login.
Note: This agent does not replace the existing Windows login requirement of username/password. The agent will only add a third requirement for an Passly passcode.

Want to know how to install a Windows Credential Provider? Please see this section.

VPN's and other appliances that support RADIUS

If you are working with an appliance or device that has support for RADIUS

• What is RADIUS? You might want to check out this article from Wikipedia.
• How Should I setup RADIUS?
• How can I add a RADIUS agent?
• How can I find documentation on setting up my VPN or Appliance to use RADIUS?
  - First consult with your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for the appliance or device you are considering using RADIUS. Each appliance/device and version has different settings that can be used. Your OEM is your best resource.
