Last Updated : Mar 22, 2021 |

About this task

Two-factor authentication adds a layer of security to your account by using One Time Password (OTP) as a second factor. Two-factor authentication is an optional feature, which is disabled by default.

When two-factor authentication is enabled, after your first login, you are prompted to set up the mobile authenticator to activate your account. On future logins, you must enter the OTP code to access Device Enrollment Services. A mobile device is required only for OTP authentication. You must use a computer to access the Device Enrollment Services interface.

Procedure

  1. To set up the mobile authenticator to activate your account, install one of the following applications on your mobile device:
    • Free OTP

    • Google Authenticator

    • Authy

  2. Open the application and scan the barcode.

    Steps 1 and 2 are one-time tasks.

  3. Enter the code displayed on the mobile application.

    Perform this step after every login to access Device Enrollment Services.

  4. Click Submit.
