We will go over how to set your MFA (also known as 2FA) up on your favourite Authentication apps so you can access Pinch.The next time you attempt to log into Pinch, you will be prompted to set up your secure MFA access.

This example is the Microsoft Authenticator App.

The "Trust this device" checkbox allows MFA to be only required every 14 days.
