Login in with Multi-Factor Authentication

You can use the Multi-Factor Authentication feature to enhance security when logging into BioStar X. Enabling Multi-Factor Auth for Login adds a fingerprint authentication step through a fingerprint scanner to the combination of user ID and password.

Info

  • Multi-Factor Authentication refers to the method of authenticating users through two or more authentication procedures.

  • Users who want to use the Multi-Factor Auth for Login feature must enroll their fingerprint and set their username, password, and operator level.

  • To use the Multi-Factor Auth for Login feature, a fingerprint scanner that supports multi-factor authentication login must be connected to the BioStar X client PC. Please refer to the list below for devices supported by the fingerprint scanner.

    • BioMini

    • BioMini Plus 2

    • BioMini Slim 2

  • If you use the Use for BioStar X Login option with an Active Directory Server account, you will not be able to use the Multi-Factor Auth for Login feature.

  • Users with Multi-Factor Auth for Login set cannot register for BioStar X services other than BioStar X AC.

Caution

  • After setting up the multi-factor authentication feature for the main admin account (ID 1), be aware that you will not be able to log in with that account if the fingerprint authentication becomes unavailable.

  • If login becomes impossible due to fingerprint issues, contact Suprema Technical Support.
