Add Two Factor Authentication to Your RDS-WebAccess Portal

As the bad guys get smarter and attack with better tools, passwords often aren’t enough to keep remote sessions secure anymore. Two Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security by combining two different factors:

• A Password
• A Mobile Device (such as a smartphone) - with an authenticator app installed.

Each time a user signs into a remote session via the Web Applications Portal he or she will need to enter a password and a code provided by an authenticator app on a mobile device.
