Activating Multi-Factor Authentication

To Activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

  1. Select "User Properties" from the drop down menu under your user name in the upper right hand corner of the Deep Security Manager console.
  2. In the Sign-In Credentials area of the User Properties window, press the Manage MFA button. This will open the Manage MFA wizard to guide you through the rest of the process.
  3. The first screen of the Manage MFA wizard will remind you to install a Supported MFA Application.
  4. If your device supports scanning QR codes, you can use your camera to configure your virtual MFA application. Otherwise you can choose to show the shared secret to manually configure your application.
  5. You will then be prompted to enter two authorization codes from your MFA application to make sure it is properly configured.
  6. If the authorization codes were correct, MFA will be enabled for your account, and you will be required to enter an MFA code when you sign in.
