NEW FEATURE: Password Import & Export with OTP Secret Key!
Accessing the one-time password (OTP) code with multifactor authentication (MFA) isn’t always convenient, but with IT Glue’s OTP feature, it can be a breeze. Two-factor authentication (2FA) or MFA has become vital for today’s password security. By adding a second layer of authentication, you can verify whether the person accessing an account is legitimate.
OTPs are common under MFA procedures. An OTP is an automatically generated sequence of numeric characters that expires after a certain timeframe. However, accessing the OTP code can sometimes be cumbersome, requiring manual scanning of a QR code onto multiple devices or tracking down the code owner. Due to this inconvenience, some individuals skip implementing 2FA/MFA measures, compromising the security of sensitive data.
Fortunately, IT Glue’s OTP feature offers a solution that makes accessing the OTP code seamless and simplifies importing and exporting the OTP secret key. With this functionality, onboarding new users and ensuring business continuity becomes effortless, enhancing the overall user experience and reinforcing security measures.
Boost security and password sharing with OTP in IT Glue
IT Glue’s OTP Generator provides a convenient solution, ensuring continuous access to the most up-to-date OTP codes for passwords that require 2FA/MFA. This feature streamlines the login process, especially when multiple technicians are granted administrator access to an application. With the OTP Generator, all technicians can access the necessary OTP codes to complete the 2FA/MFA login, ensuring seamless access without compromising convenience.
Efficient imports to make onboarding a breeze
The increasing number of SaaS applications that IT teams must securely access has made adding an OTP code for each password time-consuming. However, this task has been significantly simplified with the recent introduction of OTP secret key import.
With this new capability, IT teams can now effortlessly import a list of MFA passwords and their corresponding OTP secret keys into IT Glue. This enables centralized access and benefits the entire IT team by streamlining the process and making it much more convenient to manage and use OTP codes across various applications.
