Overview

Welcome to SecTrail MFA documentation! This guide contains all the information you need to install, configure, and manage your multi-factor authentication system.

What is SecTrail MFA?​

SecTrail MFA is an enterprise multi-factor authentication solution. It is a high-performance and scalable platform designed to secure access to organizations' critical systems.

Traditional password-based security is no longer sufficient. SecTrail MFA maximizes security by using two or more independent factors to verify user identity:

  1. Something you know - Password, PIN
  2. Something you have - Phone, token device
  3. Something you are - Biometric data (in future releases)
