Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

We’re thrilled to introduce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)—a powerful security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your Orwellix account, keeping your documents, AI conversations, and creative work safe from unauthorized access.

What’s New

  • Dual Verification Methods: Choose between Email Verification for convenience or Authenticator App for enhanced security or enable both for maximum protection and flexibility.

  • Seamless Setup Process: Enable MFA in seconds directly from your Security settings. Simple step-by-step guidance walks you through setup, with instant QR code generation for authenticator apps.

  • Flexible Authentication: Switch between verification methods during login workflow on your situation. Lost your phone? Use email. Away from email? Use your authenticator app.

  • Smart Password Protection: All verification method changes require password confirmation, ensuring only you can modify your security settings even if someone gains temporary access to your account.

  • Instant Email Codes: Receive verification codes instantly via email with automatic 5 Minutes expiration for security. Built-in resend functionality with cooldown protection prevents abuse.

  • Industry-Standard Authenticator Support: Works seamlessly with popular authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, and any TOTP-compatible app.

  • Manual Key Entry Option: Can’t scan QR codes? Use manual key entry with one-click copy for quick setup on any device or authenticator app.
