Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

About

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is pivotal in bolstering security as it necessitates multiple forms of verification before granting access.
This approach extends beyond the conventional password-only method by requiring both your username and password, as well as a secure code, adding an extra layer of defense to safeguard your information.

Configuration

Upon signing into the Portal, you will be prompted to configure 2FA.

Step 1 Install an Authenticator App

Install an Authenticator App on your phone to get two-factor authentication codes when asked.

Some Authenticator App options are:

• Google Authenticator
• Microsoft Authenticator
• 1Password
• LastPass

Once you have the authenticator installed on your phone, click Continue to start the configuration process.

Step 2 Verify Mobile Phone Number

First, we need to verify your mobile phone number. This will be used in the event that you lose your Authentication codes.

Enter your mobile phone number, then click Send SMS.

Step 3 Verify

You will have received a 6-digit code sent to your mobile phone. Enter this code, then click Verify.

Step 4 Scan QR Code

Use the Authenticator App that you installed on your phone in Step 1 to scan the QR Code. Once complete, click Continue.

Step 5 Verify Code

Enter the Authentication Code generated on your phone's Authentication App, then click Verify.

If you have done everything correctly, you will be finished.

Click Finish.
