Security Hardening Through Multi- Factor Authentication

For B2B guests, MFA can be exedict at thee resource tenant level, while for B2C custisers, MFA can bee tailored based based on transactione value (e., passd vsvvvvvvre).
Reduced Password Management Overheadd
By federating identities, organizations s offload credential management to external identity providers. B2B guests handle their ir own password policies, reducting the administrativa burden on IT. For B2C, users cann reset their ir passwords via self-service flows, elimination ating thee need for help desk intervention.

Both B2B and B2C offer extensive customization. B2B guett invitations can include branded email templates and customm redemption URL. B2C user flows allow pixel- perfect control over every authentiation screen, including logo, background images, and JavaScript- corn interactions.
