Custom multi-factor authenticator

Custom multi-factor authenticators (MFA) are advanced security methods that allow you to add personalized MFA hooks to the authentication process. As an admin, you can configure hooks that deliver a passcode or magic link to customers via any preferred channel, such as push notifications, external apps, your own email servers, or SMS-sending servers. This feature provides you with the flexibility to tailor the delivery method to your unique requirements, enhancing your security measures.
