Offline MFA allows multi-factor authentication to function even when there is no internet or direct connection to the MFA server. It uses local agents installed on devices to verify user identity, ensuring secure access. Offline MFA is crucial for maintaining security during network outages or when users are offsite. It prevents unauthorized access by enforcing a second layer of authentication, even without server connectivity, thereby keeping your organization's cybersecurity intact in all conditions.
User Enrollment
Enabling offline MFA initially prompts users to enroll in the authenticator(s) configured by their admin.
Admin Control
Admins can give users the choice of enrolling in the offline MFA authenticators on a particular device. Alternatively, admins can make enrollment mandatory for users when they log in.
Local Storage
Once a user has successfully enrolled in offline MFA, the authentication data needed to verify their identity is stored locally on that particular device.
Attempt Limits
If you do not want users to log in through offline MFA over an extended period, you can limit the number of offline MFA attempts.
