MFA helps to protect these valuable assets. Increased protection: Security breaches result in loss of resources, especially data, time, and money.For the organization, security benefits may be: MFA provides protection for both the organization and individual users.

Each additional security layer added beyond 2FA protects the user and the organization even further, demonstrating the value of MFA.

Most often, 2FA uses the “possession” factor as the second level of security.Īfter a user enters their credentials, which the system recognizes as valid for network access or for logging in to an application, the server would then request an additional credential, such as a temporary code or password sent to a mobile device. Since a cyber criminal would most likely not have the user’s mobile device in their possession, this makes it difficult for them to steal a user’s identity or account.Īdditionally, 2FA protects the organization, even in situations where a user’s primary credentials have been stolen, since the second layer is still inaccessible to the thief. 2FA, as its name implies, requires users to authenticate their identity using two steps that serve to validate their access. Token2 Handheld USB QR Code Scanner can also be used with any other application supporting direct HID input and requiring 1D or 2D code recognition.Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a subset of MFA, both increasingly being employed to increase security beyond the level provided by passwords alone. When clicking on 'QR / barcode reader' button, a dialog window appears prompting to use the USB reader: it is enough to point the device to a QR code and press its button - the application will automatically detect the QR code, extract the seed/secret key and populate the 'Seed(base32)' text field. Token2 NFC Burner application for Windows has a special feature allowing to read a TOTP QR code using the handheld QR-Code/Barcode reader. One of the use cases is enabling UserLock MFA access using Token2 programmable tokens. Token2 Handheld USB QR Code Scanner can be used as an input device for Token2 NFC Burner application for Windows, where the QR code for TOTP profile to be provisioned is shown on another device, where NFC Burner application cannot be launched.

Token2 Handheld USB QR Code Scanner is a handheld image 2D QR-code and barcode scanner, with advanced image processing technology and high efficient transmission technology, the device can easily read a variety of 1D and 2D code. Shipping costs will be calculated at the checkout page
