How To Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on Your Payaza Dashboard
We have introduced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), an extra layer of security for your Payaza account. With MFA enabled, even if someone else has your password, they won’t be able to access your Payaza dashboard without your verification code.
Security is at the heart of Payaza.
To help you stay protected, we have introduced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), an extra layer of security for your Payaza account.
With MFA enabled, even if someone else has your password, they won’t be able to access your Payaza dashboard without your verification code.
Stay secure and in control of your account at all times with MFA.
What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
MFA helps confirm that it’s really you trying to log in or perform high-value transactions. It works by requiring two forms of verification which are your password and a one-time code sent to your email or generated by an authenticator app.
Even if someone knows your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the provided one-time code.
🔒 Why Enable MFA?
- Prevent unauthorized access
- Protect your business and your customers
- Add an extra layer of security for high-value transactions
⚙️How to Enable MFA
You can enable MFA directly from your Payaza dashboard.
