Native human users can use multi-factor authentication to receive a verification code through email each time they log in to the user interface.
You can enable multi-factor authentication for the organization and then categorize users into the following identity types:
Human user
A real person who logs in to the user interface to interact with services. When multi-factor authentication is enabled, human users receive a verification code through email. You need to verify that the email address for each human user is valid.
Non-human user
A user account for software, integrations, automated processes, and APIs that access services without human interaction.
You can categorize users who don’t use the user interface as non-human users. Non-human users can’t log in to the user interface, and they don’t need to enter a verification code to run APIs.
