Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) has Landed!
Data Security is top priority at Hero, and with this in mind, our team has added another tool to the toolkit for Hero schools.
MFA is now available for all Hero users and is managed on an individual school basis. School Leaders and Administrators have the ability to enable MFA for their staff, caregivers and learners. 
Once enabled, users manage their own MFA via their Hero profile but if access gets lost, school administrators can don their capes and come to the rescue.
