Secure your account with MFA

About multi-factor authentication​

MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is a security measure that can improve the security of users and systems. It requires users to provide two or more factors of authentication to verify their identity when logging in or performing sensitive operations.

For Casdoor, the second form of authentication is a code that's sent as a text message or email. After you enable MFA, Casdoor generates an authentication code any time someone attempts to sign in your account. The only way someone can sign in your account is if they know both your password and have access to the authentication code.
