One-Time Passcode Screen

If your Costpoint login is configured for two-factor authentication and Costpoint PIN, the One-Time Passcode screen displays before the PIN screen.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security that verifies the identification of users using a combination of two different components, such as the user name/password component and the one-time passcode component.

  • One-time Passcode: The one-time, 6-digit random number passcode is either generated by Costpoint and securely emailed to a user’s email address or generated separately by a user on a mobile device through one of the available 2FA mobile applications, such as Duo Security or Google Authenticator.
  • Permanent PIN: In addition to a one-time passcode, a user may be asked to verify their identity through a personal four-digit PIN. This PIN is stored in User Preferences and may be required on the login page.
Attention: For information on how to set up two-factor authentication using email or mobile application and how to configure the Costpoint PIN, see the Two-Factor Authentication section in the Deltek Costpoint Security Guide and "Authentication Tab" in the Costpoint Online Help System under Administration > Security > System Security > Manage Users > Tabs.
