Info

Note: This is currently available with all Openpath Avigilon Alta Readers but the PIN function will only work with the Openpath Avigilon Alta Keypads. To use MFA with regular Openpath Avigilon Alta Readers you will need to create a custom Entry State and toggle “Enable Multi-Factor”.

Note: This is separate from MFA for your User Profile. For information on that please see Adding MFA (Multi-factor Authentication) to your User Profile for Security.

How does it work:

  • The Openpath Avigilon Alta admin enables multi-factor authentication by creating a custom entry state that includes selecting one of the following preset MFA entry states:

    • Standard Security MFA-PIN

    • Strict Security MFA-PIN

Note: MFA is set at the Entry State. You cannot override it with a user schedule, i.e An entry set to convenience will not follow a User Schedule that is set to MFA and vice-versa.

  • When enabled, the user will trigger the unlock using their PIN and a secondary trigger method such as 1FA/2FA mobile access, cards/fobs, and third-party Wiegand methods.

  • Failure to successfully authenticate using the PIN and the allowed second factor will result in a denied unlock event.

To use MFA or Multifactor Authentication on the Openpath Avigilon Alta Keypad please follow these steps.
