Cetbix Access Authenticator App

Cetbix provides its own Cetbix Access Authenticator app to enable secure multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user logins. It acts as a secure MFA solution for Cetbix-enabled accounts, providing push notifications and dynamic security codes during login.

Availability:

 - Android: [Available on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cetbix.appnotification)[1]
 - iOS: [Available on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/gt/app/cetbix-access-authenticator/id1621293327)[2][6]

Key Features

1. Push Notifications

  - Users receive real-time login approval requests on their mobile devices.
  - Requires user confirmation to authorize access, adding a critical second layer of security[1][6].

2. Dynamic Security Codes

  - Generates time-sensitive, unique codes (similar to TOTP) that must be entered alongside standard credentials[1][4].
  - Codes are regenerated periodically to prevent reuse or interception[1].

3. Rigid Authentication Mechanism

  - Implements strict security protocols to prevent unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised[4][6].
  - No sensitive data (e.g., financial information) is stored or collected by the app[3][6].

4. Privacy-Focused

  - No data collection: The app explicitly states it does not collect user data[1][6].
  - TLS encryption: Ensures secure communication between the app and Cetbix servers[3].


How It Works

1. Login Initiation: A user enters their username and password on the Cetbix login page[9]. 2. MFA Trigger: Cetbix sends a push notification or generates a security code via the authenticator app. 3. User Approval: The user approves the login request or enters the dynamic code. 4. Access Granted: Upon successful authentication, the user gains entry to the Cetbix platform[1][6].


Security Measures

1. TLS Encryption: Protects data in transit between the app and Cetbix systems[3]. 2. No Local Storage: Sensitive credentials or codes are not stored on the device[6]. 3. Compliance: Aligns with modern security standards, though specific certifications are not listed in app details[1][3].


The Cetbix Access Authenticator app provides a secure, privacy-conscious MFA solution tailored for Cetbix users, combining push notifications and dynamic codes to enhance login security.
