The Formulayt platform utilizes multiple security measures to protect your account, including One Time Passcodes (OTP), Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and Single Sign-On (SSO).
One Time Passcodes (OTP)
All users will periodically be asked to provide an OTP at login, which they will receive via email.
Security Alert: If you receive an OTP email when you were not trying to log into Formulayt, reset your password immediately and consider activating 2FA.
Important Note: You may occasionally receive an OTP email that's not directly in response to a login attempt. This happens because:
Security cookies expire after 30 days
If you've left a window with Formulayt logged in and the cookie expires
A new cookie will be generated on the next page load
An OTP email will be sent automatically
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process. This makes it harder for attackers to gain access to accounts because, even if a password is compromised, it alone is not enough to pass the authentication check.
Setting up 2FA
When a new user account is created:
The user will be given the option to activate two-factor authentication
This requires the Google Authenticator App
Enforcing 2FA organization-wide
Administrators can require all users to use 2FA when logging in by:
Contacting your Formulayt Account Manager and request 2FA activation
Ensuring all users have the Google Authenticator App installed
