The Berkshire Client Portal has been enhanced to now include Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign On. With the appropriate system profile, these features can be activated in the Manage Security page. The new page can be accessed through the Admin drop-down menu which is located in the top right of all BCP page.
