Security and Authentication

EmpowerID provides robust security features to protect user identities and ensure secure access. This section covers key authentication settings, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for enhanced login security and Persona Switching, which allows users to switch between different identities based on their roles. These features help organizations enforce security policies while maintaining flexibility in user interactions.

📄️ Setting Multi-Factor Authentication

When your policy requires users have a more secure login experience, EmpowerID's multi-factor authentication (MFA) model gives you multiple options for applying MFA to people. Depending on your policy, you can require users to perform MFA against a wide variety of MFA Types or simply allow users to decide for themselves whether they want to protect their accounts with MFA.

📄️ Enable Persona Switching

If specific users in your organization have different responsibilities that involve periodically or regularly working in different offices, you can create different person objects with different access levels for those people through "Persona Switching." EmpowerID also supports the concept of a Core identity, so that you can log in with different Person identities that are all linked to the same Core ID. The Core identity is set by the system. If you log in using the Core ID, you can choose which Person to use at login, and also switch between your related Person identities while logged in.
