Mobile authentication

Starting with Mobile App extension version 4.5, a new Mobile Authentication feature is available to enhance the security of CRM logins. Instead of relying solely on a password, users will receive a secure authentication code as a push notification on their mobile device when logging into the CRM system.

To use this feature, the Brute Force extension (version 4.5 or higher) must be installed. This extension provides an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access attempts and works together with the mobile app to deliver secure login codes.
