In the second half of last year, Steve made an announcement during a company-wide meeting that MadWolf as a company would be stepping up it’s security practices.  Enter Multi-factor authentication.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has already been in use for Ocular Passportal, our password management system for a while.  Now, this week, MadWolf is enabling MFA for N-Central and Connectwise.  Using MFA is not hard to use, but you do need to setup a second level of authentication and with the MadWolf applications currently configured, that generally means the use of a phone app.  Popular apps for managing MFA are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Duo Mobile.  These apps are available for both Android and IOS.
