SmartAccounting MFA FAQs
Multi-factor Authentication is a security measure that requires multiple forms of identity verification before granting access to a system.
The changes to your sign-in experience depend on how you access your EP products today.
If you already use MFA to access your other EP products, the changes will be as follows:
- Entering your EP Account credentials, the username (email) and password you use to access all your EP products, instead of Citrix credentials to sign in. You will use these same credentials and an MFA passcode for later sign-ins.
- Depending on your project's configuration, you may need to enter an MFA passcode twice to complete your sign-in.
If you do not already use MFA to access your other EP products, the changes will be as follows:
- Entering your EP Account credentials, the username (email) and password you use to access all your EP products, instead of Citrix credentials. Onscreen prompts will guide you through setting up an EP Account if needed.
- Setting up MFA the next time you sign in and access your SmartAccounting projects. Setup only takes a few minutes and is a one-time process. You will choose an authentication method to generate your MFA passcode. Your options include PingID Mobile App, PingID Desktop App, Google Authenticator or other authentication apps, Short Message Service (SMS).
- You will use these same credentials and an MFA passcode for later sign-ins.
- Depending on your project’s configuration, you may need to enter an MFA passcode twice to complete your sign-in.
The instructions for how to up MFA for SmartAccounting depends on how you access SmartAccounting.
You can use Google Authenticator to generate MFA passcodes for all EP products. To reset and only use Google Authenticator, follow these steps.
