Multi-Factor Authentication
An authentication mechanism requiring users to prove their identity with two or more independent factors: something they know (password), something they have (token/phone), and something they are (biometric). In the Indonesian B2B environment, MFA is mandatory for access to banking and financial systems under POJK 11/2022 on Consumer Protection and Financial Services Sector Supervision. Three MFA modes most common on enterprise laptops: TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) via apps like Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator; SMS OTP (easier to deploy but more vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks); and biometric (Windows Hello — fingerprint or face recognition via IR camera). For corporate laptop rentals, confirm the hardware includes an integrated biometric module (fingerprint reader or IR camera) if the client mandates Windows Hello MFA. Pre-imaging can include MFA baseline configuration aligned with Azure AD Conditional Access policy.
