What is it? How does it protect you?


2FA is effective and is a method of confirming an end user’s identity by requiring two of three pieces of evidence:
  • Something you know
  • Something you have
  • Something you are
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security feature that helps safeguard your account information when users provide two distinct forms of identification.
─ Voice or Text Message: Verification codes are sent to your phone.
─ Authenticator app: Banno can support any authenticator app using manual code entry.
─ FIDO security keys: The FIDO security key is a physical token that connects to the end user’s computer via USB, Bluetooth, or NFC. The authenticator code is automatically entered and never shared with anyone, including the end user utilizing the key. Use your security key to sign in securely anytime you sign in from a new computer or device. 

While security keys are the most secure 2FA options (and our number one recommendation for every
business user), passkeys with biometric access are loved by users because it puts 2FA into a single
step, and there is no threat of losing it – and we offer it. The customer's face or fingerprint is scanned by the device and verifies their identity. All you have to do is be yourself.
