Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is becoming a standard everywhere: Mobile devices, email providers, social media accounts... When connecting to a website, you get a notification on the registered devices of your choice or type in a code to verify the access.  
**SAP Cloud for Customer** includes a native support for **Single Sign-On**. So, it is relatively easy to set up a Multi-Factor Authentication solution as well. In this blog post, learn why MFA offers multiple advantages that increase the security of your platform, without losing any convenience or ease of use. 

## 1. Password juggling is a thing of the past

Using **SAML certificates**, users don't need to remember the passwords for each site and lose or forget about them. However, **security is still ensured** by authenticating them by devices and IP addresses, for example.

## 2. Add multiple layers of security 

With multi-factor authentication on SAP C4C, you ensure that even if a password to your identify provider is stolen, your **data isn't compromised**. It is also easier to prevent a departing employee from accessing company systems that use shared passwords, and **track an unexpected access**.

## 3. Easy setup

For SAP C4C, the **configuration is quick** and just consists of your tenant ID and  a username for each user. Create teams, assign security policies, and get rid of cumbersome configuration for each new  employees.

## 4. Centralize your access management

With a **single dashboard** for the access to all your cloud platforms, have a clear view of each user activities. Adding access to other services is also simple: When implementing an identity provider for SAP C4C, leverage this solution with other services and tools you use. Supported services include Salesforce, Zendesk, or Office 365... This **lowers the overall TCO** on an essential security feature. 

## 5. Choose from many token providers

There are **many multi-factor token providers**. If you already use Two-Factor Authentication (with just one code or authenticator)  on another platform, it is possible to use the same authenticator with SAP C4C. You can easily choose between a code that is sent to a smartphone, or  a notification that just asks for a confirmation on your mobile phone. Supported vendors include Duo Security, Google Authenticator, RSA SecurID one-time passwords, Safenet, Vasco Digipasses ... or even a desktop apps
