In this article, we will talk about why data security is crucial and how to set up two-factor authentication for Sage 50. 

What is Sage’s Two Factor Authentication?

This is basically a digital verification process for any application that contains any personal details, your addresses, bank details, and much more. It adds an extra layer of protection to your data. In this two factor authentication process, if it is enabled generally for any application, a code or password is sent on your registered mail or the registered phone number. It has basically two steps, as follows-

1. First factor: Here in, you need to enter your standard password (which is known to you) to begin the login process.

2. Second factor: In this step, a one-time code or a notification is sent to you on your trusted device on your registered phone number or email (something you have). 

Why is Sage’s Two Factor Authentication Crucial?

In this segment, we are going to talk about the importance of two-factor authentication. It has a number of benefits, as stated below.

• Protects your data if your password gets stolen – If by any chance any hacker gets their hands on your password, through any means, they would not get in through your data because they would need a code that would be sent to you, via mail or registered mobile number.

• Safe guards your crucial data against phishing attacks – Maybe, if by any chance someone succeeds in gaining your password, somehow, they still would not be able to access your account, as they would need a code to get into your account. So, your account is safe until you give that code or the one-time password to the person who is trying to steal your data.

• Safety against unauthorized access – If someone ever tries to steal your data, who is a known person with access to your password, they might try to fool you. But they would not get in until you share the one-time password with them. 

• Saves your valuable time – As per the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the process of two-factor authentication can save you time. In case your data ever gets compromised or someone can extract your password, by any means, they still cannot get through, as they do not have the one-time password. So, that in turn would save your time because you would not waste your time recovering your data that was hacked. 

In case your data inside the Sage application ever gets compromised, immediately get in touch with the Sage experts on the Sage 50 Canada Support Number, +1-877-204-4803. 

Ways to Get Sage’s 6 Digit Authentication Code 

There are a number of ways to get the 6-digit one-time code. This code will protect your data from being compromised. There are three major ways, as explained below.

• Via the Authenticator application

This method is approved by Sage itself. To use this method of authentication, you have to download the application on your trusted device. The one-time code you will get on this application is time-based, which means that this code will expire if not entered within the required time. You can use any authenticator application of your choice, be it the Microsoft Authenticator, Twilio Authy, Google Authenticator, or any other, if it is supported by Sage only. This option is a good choice for those who travel a lot.

• Via SMS 

Here, in this alternative, you will get the one-time password via message from the number that is registered with the application.

• Via Sage 50 Canada Support Number

In this alternative you will receive a call from the Sage support team on your registered mobile number. The code may be repeated twice or thrice to cross-check if entered correctly or not.

How to Set up Two-Factor Authentication in Sage?
