Get a security solution that your users want to use
Users like easy. So, if you introduce something for them that make things harder, they are not going to use it. If you force them to use it, well tell me how that went. SMS Passcode makes very easy for users to connect to the company network. If the user is located on a network, that is already trusted, the IT administrator can create policy saying, that the passcode isn’t necessary. But let’s say that the user is located on an unsecure network, the user needs to use the passcode. SMS passcode looks at different criteria and from that decide whether or not the login should go through or not or if the user needs the passcode.
Make sure to deliver
With SMS passcode, you can choose the best way to deliver the passcode to the users. Based on location, SMS Passcode chooses the best delivery method. Let’s say the user is located in a place with that is known for bad cellular coverage. The user can connect to a WiFi and get his or hers passcode through the SMS Passcode app. SMS Passcode can deliver passcodes by using:
- Text / SMS
- Phone call
- SMS Passcode App
This means that you will always have a way to make sure that the users are able to access their applications and data.
