Login forms are embedded in the app
Older apps often tie login, sessions, cookies, and app behavior together in fragile ways.
MFA for web login pages
Add MFA to User Interface Logins Without Rewriting Login Code
Protect the login pages users already see. Datawiza enforces MFA before users reach browser-based login forms, portals, and session-based web apps, often with a routing change instead of an app rewrite.
Why UI login MFA is hard
Login pages are often the riskiest place to make code changes
Vendor apps can be hard to modify
Many portal and packaged-app login pages cannot be customized safely or quickly.
Each portal has a different pattern
Customer, partner, vendor, and internal web apps may all use different login flows.
Security still needs MFA now
Teams need stronger checks before access without waiting for every application team to rebuild login.
How it works
Enforce MFA before the original login page
Route the login URL through Datawiza
Place Datawiza Access Proxy before the UI login path or the full web application.
Challenge users with MFA
Use Datawiza MFA or integrate with an existing IdP such as Entra ID, Okta, or another OIDC/SAML provider.
Keep the original login behavior
Preserve the existing login form, session, and cookie behavior behind the proxy.
Expand across more login pages
Repeat the pattern across portals and internal login flows that need stronger access control.
Best fit
Where UI login MFA works best
This pattern fits browser-based applications where the login page is visible to users but hard to change. Instead of rebuilding authentication, teams enforce MFA at the access layer.
For related use cases, see MFA for web applications and no-code MFA.
Good candidates include
Customer, partner, supplier, and vendor portal login pages
Legacy web login forms that use sessions and cookies
Vendor-managed apps where source-code changes are limited
Internal admin tools and intranet login pages
Apps that need MFA quickly before a deeper SSO or CIAM project
Routing options
Roll out MFA through the path traffic already takes
DNS cutover
Route the login page or app host through Datawiza when DNS is the simplest control point.
CDN or edge routing
Use CDN rules where apps already sit behind services such as Cloudflare or Akamai.
Gateway or load balancer
Use an application gateway, ALB, Nginx, F5, or similar layer when it already fronts the app.
Hosted or on-prem
Run Datawiza where it fits the app: hosted, private cloud, VPC, or on-premises.
FAQ
MFA for UI login pages FAQ
Do we need to change our login page code?
No. Datawiza enforces MFA before users reach the UI login flow, so the app login code can remain unchanged.
Will this break sessions or cookies?
The goal is to preserve the application's existing login and session behavior while adding MFA at the access layer.
Is this only for external portals?
No. It can protect customer and partner portals as well as internal login pages and admin tools.
Do we need an IdP?
Not always. External portals can start with Datawiza MFA, while internal apps often integrate with an existing IdP.
Protect one login page first
Show Datawiza one UI login flow and the routing path in front of it. We can map the fastest MFA rollout without rewriting authentication.
