MFA now available: add an extra layer of security to your DEIS account

We have added optional multi-factor authentication (MFA) to DEIS, providing an additional layer of security for businesses that require it.

How it works

When MFA is enabled, logging in requires two factors:

• Magic link — click the link sent to your email (something you have).

• TOTP code — enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app (something you know/have).

Setting up MFA

• Go to Settings → Security → Multi-Factor Authentication.

• Click "Enable MFA."

• Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).

• Enter the 6-digit code to confirm setup.

• Save the backup codes in a secure location.

Team MFA policies

Account admins can enforce MFA for all team members. When enforced, users must set up MFA on their next login. Users without MFA cannot access the account until they complete setup.

When to use MFA

MFA is recommended for:

• Businesses in regulated industries (finance, insurance, legal)
• Accounts with access to sensitive data sources (credit bureaus, court records)
• Businesses with compliance requirements that mandate MFA

For most users, magic-link authentication provides strong security. MFA adds an extra layer for those who need it.
