Enhance your Filmustage account security with Multi-factor Authentication by OKTA

As part of its robust security measures, Filmustage utilizes the powerful Auth0 solution, which has been acquired by and is now powered by OKTA, for multifactor authentication (MFA). In this article, we'll discuss the benefits of using MFA, the features of Auth0 and OKTA, and explain how to enable MFA for your Filmustage account.

The importance of multifactor authentication

Multifactor authentication is a security measure that requires users to provide at least two forms of verification to access their accounts. Typically, MFA combines something the user knows (such as a password) with something the user has (a one-time code generated by an authenticator app or a physical token). By adding an extra layer of protection, MFA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if the user's password is compromised.
