  Multi-factor authentication for user login to Ariba Network [SI-1110]
Multi-factor authentication is a two-step verification process where users are required to authenticate themselves a second time using a time-based verification code. As compared to the single step authentication process, the multi-factor authentication process provides enhanced security.  Previously, if multi-factor authentication was enabled for critical fields, users were required to perform the two-step verification process only while attempting to update the values of critical fields such as email addresses, phone numbers, remittance information and so on. With multi-factor authentication enabled for login, users are required to perform the two-step verification process to log into Ariba Network.
