Unlock the Full Power of WhosOff: Advanced Features You Should Be Using
WhosOff is more than just a leave management tool—it’s a secure, customisable platform that adapts to the needs of modern businesses. From enterprise-grade authentication to seamless integrations and enhanced data control.

Here’s a full breakdown of the additional security options you can activate in your WhosOff account—and why they matter for your business.


Bulletproof Your Access: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Security is non-negotiable. WhosOff offers Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to your account. Users can choose between receiving a One-Time Password (OTP) via email or using an authenticator app. Enabling MFA ensures that even if login credentials are compromised, unauthorised access is prevented.

Benefits:
  • Required for compliance with internal security policies
  • Reduces the risk of unauthorised access
  • Provides peace of mind for both administrators and employees.
How to enable:

Simplify & Secure Access with Single Sign-On (SSO)

Managing multiple login credentials can be cumbersome. WhosOff supports Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with several identity providers, allowing users to access the platform using their existing organisational credentials. Supported SSO providers include:

  • Microsoft Entra (Azure Active Directory)
  • Google Workspace
  • Okta
  • Auth0
  • OneLogin
Benefits:
  • Streamlines the login process for users
  • Centralises authentication management
  • Enhances security by leveraging existing identity provider policies
