Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Zoom


Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud- based platform for video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat, and webinars across mobile devices, desktops, telephones, and room systems. Zoom Rooms is the original software-based conference room solution used around the world in board, conference, huddle, and training rooms, as well as executive offices and classrooms.


Challenges faced by Zoom users & how we can overcome them

Massive increase in use of video conferencing apps has helped us to introduce enhanced Zoom Two-Factor Authentication solution for Desktop and mobile apps. Zoom 2FA security solution makes it easier for user and organizations to safeguard and prevent themselves from the security breaches.
Zoom 2FA (two-factor authentication) is a two-step sign-in process which provides additional layer of security check to grant access to log into Zoom account. Zoom 2FA & SSO identifies users by demanding two or more type of authentication methods. First factor is the one that user knows username and password and second factor is what user might have as unique like a phone (For OTP) or Fingerprint, voice. This additional layer prevents the unauthorized person from accessing the resources even if they know your credentials.

miniorange provides 15+ authentication methods and solutions for various use cases. It allows users and organization to setup certain authentication and settings which includes password restrictions, restricting sign-in methods, as well as other security settings. miniorange also make way for authentication apps that support Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy 2-Factor authentication app and our own miniorange Authenticator app.


Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD, OpenLDAP, Google, AWS Cognito etc), Identity Providers (like Shibboleth, Ping, Okta, OneLogin, KeyCloak), Databases (like MySQL, Maria DB, PostgreSQL) and many more.
