# Configuring Multi-Factor Authentication

## This article explains how AuditMiner uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect your account, and explains the MFA configuration options available.

AuditMiner enables multi-factor authentication (MFA) on every user account by default.

Types of factors include: something you know (passwords, PINs), something you have (authenticators, tokens), or something you are (biometrics, fingerprint).

Today, AuditMiner supports two different types of factors:

- Something you know: **AuditMiner password**
- Something you have: **Email** or **authenticator app**

### **Logging In with MFA**

#### Step 1: Enter your credentials

Enter your username and password.

#### Step 2: Confirm authentication via email or authenticator app

Depending on which factor you have configured, AuditMiner will prompt you to confirm your account either via a token sent to your email or the authenticator app of your choice.

#### Step 3: You're now logged in

That's it. You're now logged in and able to use AuditMiner how you'd like.

Note: All active sessions open in a browser are automatically signed out after 10 hours of inactivity and will prompt MFA again.

### Configuring MFA Settings

Every AuditMiner user's MFA setting is configured to use email by default.

To change the MFA setting, do the following:

1. Click on your username in the lower left corner of the AuditMiner menu, then **select "Edit User"**
