Using Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) with TOTP
MediaVillage offers Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) with Time Based, One Time Passwords (TOTP) which requires users logging in to enter their username, password and a TOTP code that needs to match a TOTP application. If the TOTP code doesn’t match, then the user will be denied entry.
TOTP supported applications: Google Authenticator (iOS /Android) and Authy (iOS /Android)
