Verkada access control now supports the ability to assign codes solely for the purpose of multi-factor authentication (MFA). These MFA codes can be used alongside a keycard on the AD64 door reader, or third party reader with keypad, to unlock a door when the door is configured in the Card+Code schedule. Since these codes must be used alongside a user’s credential, they do not have to be unique within an organization.

MFA codes are being added in addition to the existing “entry code” field in a user’s profile. A user’s entry code must be unique within the organization. An entry code can be used as a standalone credential when a door is not in a Card+Code schedule, in addition to being used as a second factor when the door is in a Card+Code schedule.
