Log In Using Multi-factor Authentication

If your system administrator has enabled multi-factor authentication, when you log in to Vantagepoint you must provide a six-digit code from an authentication application, in addition to your valid user ID and password.

Multi-factor Authentication must be enabled by your system administrator in Security Settings. For this additional step to appear when you log in, it must also be enabled for your user account.

For the multi-factor authentication application, Deltek recommends Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile, both of which have been tested with Vantagepoint. Although these two applications are recommended, you can also use other authentication applications.

To log in with Multi-factor Authentication enabled:

  1. Use your Vantagepoint URL to launch Vantagepoint and display the Vantagepoint login screen.
  2. Select one of the following actions:
    • If you are logged in to Windows with your network login credentials and you want to log in to Vantagepoint using Windows Authentication, select the Windows Authentication check box when you log in.
    • If you are not using Windows Authentication, enter your user ID in User ID and your password in Password.
  3. If more than one database is available, click in Database to select a different database.
  4. In Language, select the language that you want to use while you work in Vantagepoint.

    The drop-down list contains all languages that Vantagepoint supports.

  5. Click Log In. (If you are logging in from the Vantagepoint desktop application, click OK).
  6. In the Vantagepoint Multi-factor Authentication screen (or in the Multi-factor Authentication dialog box in the desktop application), enter the six-digit code from your authentication application on your mobile device in the Enter Your Six-Digit Code field.
    • If this is your first time logging in with multi-factor authentication enabled, do the following:
      1. Click Set Up Multi-factor Authentication.
      2. Open the authentication application on your mobile device and scan the QR code that displays on the Set Up Multi-factor Authentication dialog box (or the Multi-factor Authentication dialog box in the desktop application) in Vantagepoint.

        This adds the Vantagepoint account in your authentication application and generates a six-digit code in your authentication application that you use to log in to Vantagepoint this one time.

      3. On the Set Up Multi-factor Authentication dialog box, click Done with Setup.

      You only need to set up multi-factor authentication once. On your next log in, you must open the authentication application on your mobile device and generate a new six-digit code.

  7. In the browser application, click OK. In the desktop application, click Log In.
