What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)? 

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) helps protect sensitive data by requiring users to verify their identity beyond just a password, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Once enabled, users will enter a password and a one-time code sent to their email or an Authenticator app.

Who can turn on MFA on my Impact Suite? 

Only Main Administrators can enable MFA for staff and reporters.

If you aren't sure who your Main Administrator is, please contact us at support@americalearns.net for help.
