In order to ensure that our admins have the precise controls needed to frictionlessly protect their organizations and its most critical content, we have enhanced our multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings with granular MFA timeout options. These controls enable admins to set the length of time an MFA check lasts before expiring, requiring a new check at next login, helping admins strike the balance between rigorous security and facilitating effective business operations.
Ensuring user identity is essential to securing your most critical content, and MFA is one of the most potent tools to guarantee your logins are who they say they are. But overly frequent checks run the risk of frustrating users and interfering with their work, creating friction between content security and efficiency. These new options allow a number of configurations for MFA timeouts, ranging from minutes to weeks, so your organization can secure your Box content with precision.
