Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Genesys Cloud

Administrators can now enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Genesys Cloud users. Genesys MFA uses a time-based one time password (TOTP) as a second method of user authentication.

Previously, Genesys Cloud automatically assigned those configuration objects to the Home division.
