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.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security system requiring two or more independent factors to verify a user's identity and protect against unwanted access.

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"

  2. On the Edit User page, select your desired MFA: Email or Authenticator App


  3. If selecting Authenticator App, complete the prompts to configure your app for MFA with AuditMiner.

  4. If applicable, click "Confirm," then click "Save" to save the changes.
