This application is a security tool designed to enhance the login process for Drake Software users. It adds an extra layer of protection beyond a standard username and password by requiring a time-sensitive code generated on a user’s mobile device. For example, after entering a username and password on the Drake Software platform, the application prompts the user to input a code from the mobile app to complete the authentication.
The implementation of such a security measure offers substantial advantages. It significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized account access resulting from compromised passwords. This strengthened security protocol is critical in protecting sensitive tax information handled by Drake Software. The adoption of multi-factor authentication is also increasingly mandated by industry regulations and best practices to safeguard client data and maintain compliance.
