Multi-Factor Authentication In ServiceNow

Purpose:

Multi-Factor Authentication is also called 2-step verification. It will force the user to enter the more than one set
of authentications in login time.

Initially, the user is using the basic user name and password, but that is not more secure. So, we have added more
security to the user account by the 2-step verification. In this situation, the user needs to enter the passcode or
token in addition to the basic password. User/Admin mobile will generate the token/passcode through the
authenticator app. This 2-step verification is required to both users as well as Admin.

Note: Multi-Factor Authentication is supported only the Google Authenticator app.
