INTRODUCTION
National Informatics Centre (NIC) has introduced the two-factor authentication (2FA) to log in to the e-way bill or e-invoice system. It aims to improve the security of the e-way bill and e-invoice system. Besides username and password, the user would now require providing a one-time password (OTP) for authenticating the login.
PURPOSE
- Accessing the e-invoice system and e-way bill system more efficiently.
