MFA Code will be required for any future login

When logging into the CosmosID-HUB after MFA setup, you will be prompted to enter an MFA code. You can get this code by launching the Google Authenticator app, which will provide a one-time login code for you to enter into the login portal.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more factors to an authentication mechanism.

Set up Multifactor Authentication for data security using the following steps:

1. Download the Google Authenticator mobile app

The CosmosID-HUB utilizes the Google Authenticator mobile app, which is required for MFA setup and access. Find the apps linked below, which are also linked within the Account Settings πŸ‘€ page.

2. Navigate to the account settings page (πŸ‘€) and click "Generate MFA".

Once you have successfully downloaded the Google Authenticator App, click "Generate MFA" to generate a secret key in text or QR-Code format to be input into the Google Authenticator App

3. Use the authenticator app to scan the QR code provided in your account to complete setup.

Alternatively, you can type in the secret key into the authenticator app.
