<h1 class="topictitle1">How Do I Bind a Virtual MFA Device?</h1>

<div id="body1524706670785"><p id="iam_01_0003__p152411057133419">MFA authentication provides an additional layer of protection on top of the username and password. If MFA–based login authentication is enabled, you will need to enter a verification code after your username and password are authenticated. Together, these factors make your account and resources more secure.</p>
|

<p id="iam_01_0003__p891916259355">MFA devices can be based on hardware or software. The cloud system supports only virtual MFA devices.</p>
|

<p id="iam_01_0003__p690045617123">A virtual MFA device is an application that generates 6-digit codes in compliance with the TOTP standard. Such applications can run on mobile devices (including smartphones) and are easy to use.</p>
