Can you imagine the fear of a stranger gaining access to your bank account simply because they have access to public data about you? As companies embrace remote work culture, cybersecurity concerns have reached a peak. Data, an important element for operational businesses, should be protected from unauthorized access. Salesforce is a trusted data storage and access platform that recognizes the importance of data security.
Usernames and passwords alone may not protect users and their data strongly against phishing attacks and account takeovers. Therefore, leading tech companies, including Salesforce, have implemented a more advanced approach to organizational security: Multi Factor Authentication, or MFA.
Step 1: Type “Permission” in the quick find section, click Permission Sets, and create a new permission set.
Step 2: Save your recently created permission set and navigate to “System Permission.
Step 3: Open System Permissions and select the Multi-Factor Authentication in the User Interface Logins Box.
Step 4: Scroll up and click “Manage Assignments” > “Add Assignment,” then assign the permission set to a user.
Step 5: If a new user is logging in, they will be asked to reset their password. Once that is done, you are good to go!
There you have it! Whenever users log into the org again, they will be required to add the credentials via the MFA permission set you just put in place.
Getting an MFA for everyone in your org takes just one click!
Set up >> Quick Find >> Identity Verification >> Request multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all direct UI logins to your Salesforce org.
All it takes is just a selection of a box.
Salesforce security mechanisms protect users from getting targeted by various security breaches that can endanger a business and its data. As an administrator, you always want your data to be in safe hands
