Set Up Multi-factor Authentication for User Login

You can enable multi-factor authentication to require specific users to enter six-digit codes from an authentication application, in addition to their user ID and password, when they log in to DPS.

To set up multi-factor authentication for user login:

1. In the Navigation menu, select Settings > Security > Password Policies.
2. Select the Enable Multi-Factor Authentication Using TOTP check box. When you select this check box, a Multi-factor Authentication checkbox displays on the Users form, which allows you to enable multi-factor authentication for each user.
3. Click Save.
4. In the Navigation pane, go to the Settings section and select Users.
5. On the Users form, select a specific user for whom you want to enable multi-factor authentication.
6. Select the Multi-Factor Authentication check box.

   After you save a user’s record that has this option selected, he or she must also provide a six-digit code from an authentication application on a mobile device to log in, in addition to their user ID and password. The user gets prompted the next time he or she logs in to DPS.

   Repeat steps 5 to 6 for each user for whom you want to require multi-factor authentication.
