SmarterPay Cloud employs various security methods to keep your data safe.
The security features that are visible to, and configurable by, our clients are detailed on this page.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism.
A good example of two-factor authentication is the withdrawing of money from an ATM; only the correct combination of a bank card and a PIN allows the transaction to be carried out.
SmarterPay Cloud supplements a user-controlled password with either a memorable word and/or a one-time code, delivered either by Email and/or an authentication app that only the user possesses.
In SmarterPay Cloud, Multi-factor authentication is enabled and defined in user Profiles.
