For multi-factor authentication (MFA) to function in the users' devices, it typically must be connected to the internet or to the same network as the MFA server to communicate authentication information. But unforeseen conditions can sometimes sever the connection to the MFA server, taking the user offline. In these cases, both bypassing MFA or blocking access are unwise.
Offline MFA bridges the gap, enabling you to enforce MFA for your users even when they have no access to the MFA server. This way, your users' offline status does not have to limit your organization's cybersecurity.
ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus supports offline MFA for Windows and macOS machine logins. Admins can configure one or more MFA factors for users to authenticate with. Users need to enroll themselves in the respective authenticators when they are online so that they can perform MFA when they are offline.
Decide whether you want to enable offline MFA in your organization and choose the authentication factors you want to use.
Choose between letting your users enroll in offline MFA themselves or automatically enrolling them in offline MFA on a particular device.
Set the number of times a user can perform offline MFA based on the number of attempts or the number of days, after which they have to perform online MFA at least once.
Generate a consolidated report of users who have enrolled in offline MFA, along with timestamps, and disenroll users if needed.
Offline MFA will work in both of the following scenarios:
Note: Users who choose to skip MFA enrollment will not be able to prove their identities through MFA during login. Based on the admin-enabled configurations, either MFA will be bypassed for them, or they will not be able to access their machines.
