Please upgrade to Snap XMP Desktop version 12.11 or later to enable MFA support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-factor authentication is a security measure for online software. In addition to your username and password, this requires you to authenticate your login by providing additional information that proves your identity. This is usually provided by a code generated in an email or in an authenticator app. This makes your account more secure as it requires multiple pieces of information to log on with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-factor authentication is often abbreviated to MFA and is used in the rest of this article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
