Rublon MFA offers a variety of authentication methods that are hardware- and software-based. Administrators decide which 2FA/MFA methods are available to users.
FIDO
Rublon MFA supports the FIDO2 industry standard, enabling users to sign in to applications with strong multi-factor authentication by tapping a physical WebAuthn/U2F security key or using a FIDO2 passkey.

Passcode
The Rublon Authenticator app or a third-party app like Google Authenticator generates a Passcode, even when offline. Users may verify their identities through multi-factor authentication by entering these passcodes into the Rublon Prompt or appending them to their passwords. Admins can also generate Bypass Codes for users.
Rublon Mobile Passcode is based on the TOTP Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm, which was designed by Symantec, VeriSign and others.
Rublon Bypass Code allows administrators to generate limited-time and limited-use passcodes for users that come in handy when the user loses their device.

Mobile Push is a fast and secure way for users to verify their identities, using push notifications sent to their phones. The Rublon Authenticator app enables users to approve or deny login attempts with a single tap.
SMS Passcode
