Multi Factor Authentication

For all your services you use our GRIP authentication solution. By default we require a username and password combination. But of course it is possible to choose two-factor (2FA) or multi-factor (MFA) authentication.

These settings can be changed by an admin user in the MijnKPN portal.

1. Choose for Identity in the menu

2. Select Directories in the submenu

3. Select GRIP

4. Select Authentication in the tabs

You are now in the Authentication menu of your GRIP environment.

Standard setting

Scroll down in the Authentication menu for the Authentication Level settings.

1. The Required authentication Level score determines the level you need to reach before you can successfully log in

2. In this example (standard settings) the points for Credentials (username/password) match the points (20) needed to successfully log in without further authentication methods

Multi Factor setting

Scroll down in the Authentication menu for the Authentication Level settings.

1. The Required authentication Level score must be a higher number then for Credentials (username/password) alone

2. In this example (standard settings) the points for Credentials (username/password) don't match the points (25) needed to successfully log in, and another authentication method is needed

3. Provide points higher than 0 to enable the SMS authentication method, add 5 points to match the required level of 25 in combination with the credentials that provide for 20 points

4. Provide points higher than 0 to enable the Email authentication method, add 5 points to match the required level of 25 in combination with the credentials that provide for 20 points
