How Tokeet’s New MFA Feature Enhances Your Security

Property managers handle a lot of sensitive information, from guest details to payment data. Keeping this information secure is important—not only to protect your guests but also to maintain the trust and integrity of your business. Data breaches or unauthorized access can lead to costly consequences, including financial losses and damage to your reputation.

At Tokeet, we know how important security is for your business. That’s why we’re always working on better ways to protect your account and data. Our newest security feature, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), helps keep your account even safer. It adds an extra step when you log in, making it harder for anyone else to get into your account.

According to a report by Microsoft, accounts using MFA are 99.9% less likely to be compromised. This means enabling MFA can significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats, keeping your property management operations secure and running smoothly.

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security feature that adds an extra step when logging into your account. Instead of just entering your password, MFA requires you to verify your identity through a second method. This could be a code sent to your email, a text message, or an app like an authenticator.

Think of it as two-step verification. Even if someone gets your password, they won’t be able to log in unless they also have access to the second verification method. This makes your account much more secure.

The main benefits of using MFA include:

• Better security: It reduces the chances of unauthorized access.
• Protection from password-related attacks: Even strong passwords can sometimes be hacked, but MFA provides extra security.
• Peace of mind: You can rest assured knowing your account is much safer from threats.

Why You Should Enable MFA on Your Tokeet Account?

If your password gets compromised, unauthorized users can gain access to your account, putting both your business and your guests at risk. This can lead to issues like:

• Data breaches: Hackers can steal sensitive information.
• Financial losses: Fraudulent transactions or stolen payment details.
• Damage to reputation: Losing the trust of your customers if their data is exposed.

Enabling MFA on your Tokeet account helps reduce these risks. By adding an extra verification step (such as a code sent to your email or phone), even if someone has your password, they still won’t be able to access your account without that second step.

MFA drastically reduces the risk of cyberattacks. Don’t leave your account vulnerable. Enable MFA today to ensure your Tokeet account is secure, so you can focus on managing your properties with peace of mind.

• SMS: Receive a text message with a unique authentication code.
• WhatsApp: Get notified via WhatsApp for login verification.
• Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP): Use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator to generate secure codes. You’ll scan a QR code during the setup process to link your account.

Step 3: Logging in with MFA on Different Devices
The next time you log into Tokeet on any device, you’ll follow these steps:

1. Enter your username and password as usual.

3. After entering the code, you’ll gain access to your account.

You also have the option to skip the MFA verification on trusted devices for up to 15 days. This means you won’t have to enter a code every time you log in from those devices, making it more convenient for daily use.

Admin vs. User Control of MFA

Tokeet’s MFA feature is designed to be flexible, giving both admins and individual users control over their security settings. Let’s break down how these controls work:

MFA Settings for Admins

As an admin, you have the power to enforce MFA across your entire team. This ensures that every user in your organization follows the same security standards. By enabling MFA for all users, you can be confident that every account is protected, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Admins can also monitor and manage security settings, ensuring compliance and making adjustments as needed. This is especially useful for larger teams where consistency and security are top priorities.

MFA Settings for Individual Users

For individual users, Tokeet allows the flexibility to enable or disable MFA based on personal preference or work needs. Each user can choose their preferred MFA method, whether it’s email, SMS, WhatsApp, or TOTP. This lets users customize their experience and manage their own account security.

How This Flexibility Benefits Teams and Individuals
The flexibility of Tokeet’s MFA system benefits everyone:

• Admins can enforce security measures to ensure company-wide protection.
• Users can tailor their MFA settings to suit their workflow and access preferences.
