About PhoneFactor
PhoneFactor is a phone-based two-factor authentication solution that eliminates the need for expensive tokens and other devices. Users instantly receive a call when logging in and press # to authenticate. It works with any phone (mobile or landline), anywhere. PhoneFactor can be installed and configured in minutes and integrates with all leading remote access, email, and website platforms. There are no tokens to mail, no hardware to buy, and no licensing fees to pay. In fact, the service is free for up to 25 users.
How It Works:
Step 1 – Enter your username & password.
Step 2 – Instantly, you receive a phone call. Just answer and press # (or enter a PIN).
That’s It!
This simple process provides two factors of authentication through two separate channels (your computer and your phone service):
- Something you know – your password.
- Something you have – your telephone.
A hacker would have to know your password and have your telephone to login as you.
