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 Vantagepoint.

To set up multi-factor authentication for user login:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Security > Password Policies.
  2. On the Password Policies form, select the Enable Multi-Factor Authentication Using TOTP check box.
    A Multi-factor Authentication check box displays on the Users form, which allows you to enable multi-factor authentication for each user.
  3. Click Save.
  4. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Security > 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, that user 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 that they log in to Vantagepoint.

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