The Default Authentication Profile allows you to use how many Two-Factor methods when Logging In? Which method is NOT an option?

The Default Authentication Profile in Mimecast allows users to utilize various two-factor authentication methods to enhance security during the login process. Typically, methods such as SMS Text, Authentication App, and Email Verification are standard options because they provide secure verification mechanisms that ensure the individual attempting to log in is indeed the authorized user.

The Phone call method is not commonly included in the Default Authentication Profile for two-factor authentication. Instead, the emphasis is placed on more frequently used methods that are easy to implement and widely supported. While a phone call could serve as a verification method, it is less commonly adopted in modern security practices due to potential issues such as call spoofing and the need for users to have access to their phones—factors that make SMS texts or dedicated authentication apps more reliable options.

By excluding the Phone call method from the Default Authentication Profile, Mimecast ensures a focus on practical and widely accepted approaches to two-factor authentication that enhance the overall security of user logins.
