Login token feature implements two-factor authentication (2FA) using
TOTP (Time-based One-time Password Algorithm)
and will add extra protection to your login process.
If you do not want to use a device or for cases when the device is not
accessible or if you loose your device, you may want to generate and use
scratch codes.
How it works:
-
Install a TOTP application on your mobile device (we recommend
FreeOTP or Google Authenticator for
Android/iPhone/Blackberry and
Authenticator for Windows Phone).
-
Make sure that the device clock is correct (synchronized automatically).
-
Using the just installed application,
scan the QR Code (if shown) or type the secret provided on screen.
-
The application will generate a 6 digit number that must be
entered in the form above.
-
At next login, you will be asked for the password and for
a 6 digit number; you will have to open the mobile application
and enter the 6 digit number shown on the device screen.
You may enroll multiple devices if needed. Use the 'name' field to distinguish
between them.
If you loose your device, login with a scratch code and delete all enrollments
done with the lost device.
