At Finix, we prioritize the security of your account and sensitive information. To further strengthen account protection, we will begin enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) starting on March 1st.

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring not only your username and password, but also a second verification step. This is essential in preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the safety of your data.

## Finix offers the following options for MFA

- **SMS (Text Message):** Finix supports an SMS option for users to login.
- **Mobile Authenticator:** You can also use a Mobile Authenticator App such as Google Authenticator or Okta Verify to login.
