# Access with MFA token

Multi-factor authentication is an extra layer of security added to your account. With it, you can log in with the password and additionally with the code sent to a device.

To configure an MFA token, access the [Add multi-factor authentication](/v4-2/docs/how-to-add-multi-factor-authentication) document. If MFA access is configured, you will be prompted for the token when you log in to Terminal Proxy and RDP Proxy. If you configure it to request an MFA token even when starting proxy sessions, you will be prompted again.

When a user signs in to a proxy with device authorization, Segura™ does not ask for the MFA token at sign-in. The identity provider applies its own policy, including its MFA. If Segura™ is set to ask for an MFA token when a proxy session starts, that request still applies. For details, see [Device authorization](/v4-2/docs/about-device-authorization).

The access workflow and emergency access settings will also be applied if necessary.

Attention

Depending on the User Security Posture, using MFA to start a session may be required or required more frequently.
