PingOne

What is a typical strong authentication (MFA) workflow?

The main strong authentication (MFA) flows are the authentication and registration flows. The following list represents the high-level steps required to configure a PingOne environment to enable strong authentication for your SSO applications and covers both Workforce and Customer use cases.

  1. Create an environment.

  2. Create any applications to which you want to apply MFA. Learn more in Adding an application.

  3. Perform general configurations. Learn more in MFA Settings.

  4. Configure an MFA policy. Add and configure the the authentication methods that you want to enable.

  5. Perform additional configurations for the specific authentication methods that you added.

  6. Configure an authentication policy. For environments that are not integrated with DaVinci, configure an authentication policy.

  7. (Workforce only) Configure PingID policy.

  8. (Customer only) Create an application and Add MFA to the application in PingOne.

  9. (Optional) Configure relevant integrations: Learn more in integrations for strong authentication.
