As an HR software supplier, security and data protection are high on our agenda. Therefore, we are introducing mandatory use of two-factor authentication in Emply for all users on September 13, 2023. It also applies to you who already use Single Sign-On in Emply. However, you only need two-factor authentication if you login outside your Single Sign-On.
With two-factor authentication activated in Emply, we strengthen the login and user administration process and make sure your employee data is protected against hacking, phishing, identity theft, and other forms of attack. At the same time, we ensure that your company complies with the applicable regulations for GDPR.
If someone learns your password, they still need to use the second factor to log in. It makes it much more difficult for unauthorized people to access your HR system, even if they have the login information.
How mandatory two-factor authentication works
Mandatory two-factor authentication requires all Emply users in your company to enter two independent codes to access the system. First, they log in with their login ID and password as usual. Next, they will be sent a security code by e-mail, which they enter.
Customers who already use two-factor authentication can no longer customize the email you send out with the security code. In the future, users will receive a standard message from the Emply system with the necessary information to log in.
If you don't want to use two-factor authentication in Emply and achieve increased security and data protection, you can deactivate it. See how in the article here: Deactivate two-factor authentication in Emply.
