Authentication

2600Hz Authentication

The KAZOO Authentication app enables administrators to configure a secure Multi-Factor Authentication login service and to audit its activity. Currently we support Duo’s 2-factor login service; additional services may be available in future updates. The audit log helps developers monitor both login and API connection activity as a way to troubleshoot unexpected events
