Multi-Factor Authentication for Apply Online Overview

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for CyberGrants' Apply Online (funder-specific NPO sites) is an advanced security feature that adds a crucial second layer of protection to grantseeker user accounts beyond traditional username and password combinations.

This industry-standard security enhancement helps protect sensitive grantseeker information, reduces the risk of financial fraud, and ensures that only authorized individuals can access account details where secured information is maintained. 

  • MFA for Apply Online (AOL) aligns with best practices recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and represents a significant upgrade to the overall security posture of the granting platform. 

Gain a deeper understanding of this feature by watching the video below:

  • Depending on how MFA is configured by the administrator, grantseekers may be required to use an authenticator application or may be given the choice between an authenticator application and receiving a one-time code via email.
  • Authenticator applications generate time-based one-time passcodes that typically refresh every 60 seconds. Email-based one-time codes are valid for 15 minutes from the time they are issued.

Review the articles below to better understand this feature and how it works to safeguard Apply Online grantseeker accounts while maintaining a smooth user experience.
