Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Citrix StoreFront is an additional layer of protection for Citrix StoreFront logins. It requires users to present two sets of credentials to log in successfully. The first step requires a username and password for the Citrix StoreFront account. The second step requires a different authentication method, such as Mobile Push, to verify the user’s identity. After completing both steps, users are allowed access to the secure resources. Requiring two credentials increases the difficulty for an unauthorized party to access the protected data with stolen login information.
