Set Up Multi-factor Authentication for User Login

Enable multi-factor authentication to require that specific users 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 is displayed 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 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 with this option selected, that user must provide a six-digit code from an authentication application on a mobile device to log in, in addition to entering their user ID and password. The user is prompted for this code the next time that they log in to Vantagepoint.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each user for whom you want to require multi-factor authentication.
