What is OneAuth?
OneAuth is the new multi factor authentication app created by Zoho to add an extra layer of security to your Zoho account and protect it from password breaches. Accounts secured only by login credentials are at risk of being compromised. Anyone who happens to know your password can open up your account and take whatever information they want.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can help protect you from such vulnerabilities by enabling validation of two identity checks. This means that in addition to login credentials, the user must provide further authentication such as a biometric Face ID or a One-Time Password (OTP) shown on a mobile device.
OneAuth provides multiple authentication modes to protect your account so that you can choose the authentication mode that works best for you. With OneAuth, users can implement a robust multi-factor authentication process that’s simple to use and requires no additional hardware.
