Frequently Asked Questions
Hatch values your project data and we are committed and contracted to protect it. Traditional passwords aren't secure enough anymore. MFA requires you to provide 2 forms of identity: something you know (your validated login account) and something you have (a phone). MFA is commonly used and is fast becoming the global de-facto secure standard for accessing many systems.
Yes. Almost every project team member has a mobile phone that can be used a second form of authentication. It's easy to install an authenticator app on the phone and set it up to access ShareCenter. We don't need to know your phone number - instead we use an app-generated onetime password code.
Yes. Hatch recommends that you use Microsoft Authenticator because it's easier for us to support, but you can use other phone apps such as Twilio Authy, Duo Mobile, LastPass Authenticator.
No. Passwords are not secure and are easily forgotten. SMS is no longer a recommended MFA method due to ease and frequency of exploits against it. This is why we use one-time password codes instead.
No. We do not store any information about your phone, including its number.

Please capture a screenshot/photo of the error message to help us troubleshoot the problem.

If you can access ShareCenter from home (without VPN), but not the office it is likely that your IT department has implemented security settings that are restricting access. Your corporate security settings may need to be configured to allow / whitelist the following URLs:
hatcheim.sharepoint.com
*.hatcheim.com
This may require minor changes to firewall, proxy, VPN or browser settings that only your IT can do.
If required, please work through your Hatch Document Control team to setup a meeting between your IT team and the Hatch IT team, so they can work together to identify a solution.
