This functionality will add an additional layer of protection to an account. By Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication, the system will ask the users for a second piece of evidence to confirm their identity.
Steps to enable MFA on a BeHome247 account
1. Enable MFA authentication on account’s settings
First of all, you will need to have Admin access to the account and do as follows

- Under the Multi-factor authentication setting:
- Click on the Enable Multi-factor authentication button
- The MFA label will now read MFA: Enabled
2. Configure Google Authenticator to use as an alternative verification code provider (Optional)
- To enhance the security of their personal accounts, users can configure Google Authenticator as the provider of an OTP (One Time Password) to use as the second verification code needed to access any BeHome247 MFA protected account (instead of a code sent via SMS).
****For this, do as follows:
- Log in to an account with the desired user
- Go to Profile > Account
- Under the users profile:
- Click the checkbox for Use Google Two-factor authenticator code.
- The system should display a new windows showing a QR code for scanning.
- Scan the code using the Google Authenticator App on your iOS or Android device.
- The app will now give you a 6 digits verification code that changes every 30 seconds.
- Type current valid code given by the app and clicking on the Enable Google Authenticator button.
3. Try to sign in again
Sign out of your account and try to sign in again. After entering your email and password, you will see a prompt asking for a 6-digit verification code.
