# Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for SaaS

Combine MFA with single sign-on (SSO) to secure AD identity access to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps and cloud resources.

- Prevent password fatigue
- Protect access to cloud data
- Satisfy compliance and insurance requirements
- Combine with granular access controls

## Why UserLock MFA for secure Saas access

##### Quick configuration

##### Easy adoption

##### Effective security

## Easily apply MFA for SaaS applications with SSO

UserLock considers [Active Directory SSO](/userlock/features/single-sign-on-sso-active-directory) connections to SaaS applications as server connections. To activate MFA for cloud applications, simply enable “server connections” in the MFA section of the account you want to protect.

## Apply MFA for Microsoft 365

After configuring Microsoft 365 for single sign-on, you can easily apply 
MFA for user logons to Microsoft 365 by applying MFA on server connections.

## Choose up to two MFA methods for your team

- [Push notifications](/userlock/features/two-factor-push-notification)
- [Hardware tokens and keys](/userlock/features/mfa-security-keys)
- [Authenticator apps](/userlock/features/two-factor-authentication-applications)
