Generate MFA challenge

Generate an MFA challenge ID and send a token to your mobile device registered with BILL.

Using /MFAChallenge.json is step two of signing in with an MFA trusted API session.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

The following protected endpoints require MFA for login with a trusted API session:

• Invite a vendor (not in the BILL network) with /SendVendorInvite.json
• Invite a customer in the BILL network with /SendInvite.json
• Add a vendor bank account with /VendorBankAccount.json
• Pay a vendor in the BILL network with /PayBills.json

Note: See Multi-factor authentication (MFA)/2-step verification in the BILL Help Center for more information about all the security measures in place for your BILL account operations.

Sign in with an MFA trusted API session is a three-step process:

1. Sign in to generate a sessionId value with /Login.json.
2. Generate an MFA challenge ID with /MFAChallenge.json. When you call /MFAChallenge.json, a token is sent to your mobile device registered with BILL.
3. Authenticate the challenge ID and token with /MFAAuthenticate.json. At this point, the sessionId (from step one) is MFA trusted.
