Introduced Two Factor Authentication (2FA) Login for VARStreet BackOffice Users (Feature Available on Request)

• VARStreet has introduced two factor authentication (2FA) login for its BackOffice users.
• 2FA is an extra layer of security that ensures that the right people gain access to your VARStreet BackOffice account. First, a user will enter their username and a password. Then, instead of immediately gaining access, they will be required to provide authentication code.
• Even if your password is stolen or lost, the chances of someone else having your second-factor information is highly unlikely. Hence 2FA provides extra layer of protection from unauthorized users.
• To activate 2FA, one has to check a flag called "Enable Two Factor Authentication" that has been introduced at user level in all user profiles
• To access this page go to---> BO>>Admin>>Account Profile>>Users>>User name>>Enable Two Factor Authentication
• This flag can be checked by an Admin or a user with the privilege to activate two factor authentication for users.

• A new setup page has been created in BO>>Admin>>Account Profile>>2FA Setup.
• On the 2FA Account Setup Page, user has to enter all the details including Integration Key, Secret Key and API Hostname. This information will be obtained from DUO app.
• On the BackOffice login page, once the user enters their correct username and password, he will be redirected to another screen. Here the user will be authenticated in the following two ways:
• 1) SEND ME A PUSH
• On clicking the above button, APPROVE and DENY link will be sent on DUO APP
• OR
• 2) ENTER PASSCODE -
