Internal providers will require a password from the user with the option of configuring multi-factor authentication (MFA). They can be configured with a custom password policy, as well as requiring all users to use MFA.

OIDC providers are used to authenticate users via an external platform. They are configured with a URL and Client ID. When users go to sign in, they will be redirected to initially to the 3rd party to authenticate. Afterwards, they will be able to sign in to MFGx using just their email.

Basic API Access providers will require a password from the user. It can only be used to access the API and should be used only when the length of the API key is too long for the provider to accept. More information can be found here:
