The second solution is Protectimus DSPA which adds 2FA directly to the repository (Active Directory, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, databases) and thus adds MFA to everything linked to the business AD, LDAP, etc. The first product is Protectimus OWA, developed specifically for Office OWA integration. We developed two products for Outlook OWA 2FA. With such sensitive data involved, OWA two-factor authentication becomes imperative. OWA Outlook online provides access not only to email, but to other personal information like calendar, contacts, and tasks, and is widely used by businesses all over the world. For Microsoft Outlook update for Microsoft Exchange 2016 it was rebranded as “Outlook on the web”. But just in case - OWA Outlook is a browser email client to access Microsoft Outlook without any on-premises installations for Exchange 2013, Exchange 2010 users.

MFA does not prevent hackers from stealing your password, but it does make it much more difficult for them to access your account.Īll McMaster staff, faculty, professors emeriti are required to use MFA on their McMaster Microsoft account effective immediately. This helps prevents hackers from gaining access to your account because of the extra layer of protection. In addition to your password, your account will be protected by “something you have,” such as a smart phone, mobile phone or a hardware token. MFA works by requiring something else, beyond just a password, to prove that you are who you say you are.
