Using Multi-factor Authentication for User Login

Multi-factor authentication provides another layer of security. This protects Vantagepoint from unauthorized access and safeguards the integrity of information.

In addition to a user ID and password, multi-factor authentication requires users to enter a six-digit code from an authentication application when they log in to Vantagepoint. This supplements the login credentials of users by proving their identity on a separate device.

To use multi-factor authentication to log in to Vantagepoint, each user must install an authentication application on their mobile device. Deltek recommends Google Authenticator, which has been tested with Vantagepoint. Although this application is recommended, you can also use other authentication applications.

Administrators and users with relevant role privileges can enable multi-factor authentication in Settings > Security > Password Policies.

Once the feature is enabled, it must also be activated for each user in Settings > Security > Users.
