• Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) enhances the security of your Zoho account and protects it from password breaches. Accounts secured with login credentials only can easily be compromised, so we have introduced MFA to protect your Zoho account.
• With MFA, you have to provide additional information such as biometric Face ID or an OTP (One-Time Password) to log in to your account using OneAuth app.  

Touch ID on iPhone and Fingerprint on Android are biometric verification systems that scan and verify your fingerprint.

1. If you choose this mode of authentication, you can sign in to your Zoho account using your fingerprint. If you have already configured your fingerprint on your device, place your finger on the device's home button (iOS) or scanner (Android) to verify it and log you into your account. 
2. If you haven't yet configured, then you will have to do so and then set it up on the OneAuth app.

• You can install the OneAuth app on multiple devices and designate one of them as your primary device and the others as secondary devices. This is useful when you don't have the primary device with you but need to log into your Zoho account.
• If you only have one mobile device set up, it will be your primary device by default. You can view your device details on the Devices tab.

Location Sense is to add a network area that you can trust completely as a SafeZone, such as your office or home. If you set up safe locations or SafeZone, the next time when you attempt to access your Zoho account from them, you will be automatically signed into your account.

1. Open the OneAuth app

2. Navigate to More

3. Click Location Sense and then Add a SafeZone

4. Select the place you want to set up as a SafeZone by pressing the location marker.

Location Sense is available only if you choose Push notification for verification in OneAuth app.

Note: For automatic sign in, the device in which you have installed the OneAuth app should be within the SafeZone or else the automatic sign in won't work.

• If Restrict Sign-In is enabled, all future sign-in attempts to your Zoho account will be automatically blocked. Use this feature if you suspect that your account has been compromised, or if you are on an extended vacation and know you won't be accessing your account. 
• When you need to sign back into your account, you will have to disable this feature in the OneAuth app. If you've uninstalled the OneAuth app without disabling the Restrict sign-in, then you will have to contact Zoho Support to access your account.
