MFA

Written for Users Managers Administrators

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra verification step when you sign in. It may be mandated by your organisation, or something you can enable yourself on your account.

Setting up MFA/2FA

If mandated by your organisation, skip to step 4.

Step

From My Dashboard, select your profile icon in the top right and select Profile & settings.

Step

Select the Security tab at the top.

Step

In the Require MFA section, select Turn on (always required) and then Save changes.

Step

Navigating back to My Dashboard will prompt you to setup 2FA/MFA.

Make sure your mobile device has an authentication app installed. Your organisation may require you to only use certain authentication apps.

Step

Click Set up.

Step

Scan the QR code that appears using your mobile device, or select Configure on this device if you're setting up MFA on the device you're currently using.

Step

Enter the code shown in your authenticator app and select Confirm.

Step

A series of backup codes will be displayed. Please store these somewhere safe.

Each backup code can only be used once to authenticate. These can be used to regain access to your Opus account if you lose/reset your authentication device.

Once stored, click I have stored them.

Complete!

You've now setup MFA/2FA on your Opus account.
