Bloomfield, NJ (June 8, 2026) - PRISM recently released a new feature to PRISM SMS. For added security, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can now be enabled within your PRISM SMS account.
How Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Works
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires users to provide two or more verification methods to access an account or system. When MFA is enabled in PRISM SMS, each user will be prompted to enter a One-Time Passcode (OTP) that will be emailed to them using their email address that was used to set up their account within PRISM SMS.
Benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA significantly reduces the risk of hacking and adds additional levels of protection to your PRISM SMS account by ensuring that even if a password is stolen, unauthorized users still cannot access your data.
One-Time Passcode (OTP)
Users will not necessarily have to enter a One-Time Passcode (OTP) everytime they log in to PRISM SMS. MFA within PRISM SMS is designed to record a successful login and will not require additional authentication unless the local cache or cookies are cleared. MFA is specific to each browser or app on each device. So, if a user logins to PRISM SMS using Chrome on their laptop, it will record the successful login and not require authentication again (until the cache or cookies are cleared); however, if that user tried to login to PRISM SMS from Edge or the app they would be prompted again to enter a One-Time Passcode (OTP).
MFA Offline Capabilities within PRISM SMS
Offline capability within PRISM SMS is not affected by MFA. Users will be able to continue to login to PRISM SMS and submit reports in offline mode.
If you are interested in adding MFA to your PRISM SMS account, please contact PRISM Support (prism@argus.aero). PRISM Support will enable MFA in your PRISM SMS account. If you would like MFA removed, you can do this at the individual user level within the Account Manager or you can contact PRISM Support to have it disabled for your account.
