2 Factor Authentication

For greater security, the system allows the use of 2-factor authentication using the TOTP algorithm (Time-based One-Time Password algorithm).

 

The user can use any 2FA application compatible with this algorithm (Ex: Google Authenticator).

To enable 2-factor authentication, check the OTP (One-time Password) option and click the Key button.

 

The system will generate a QR Code that must be scanned in your 2-factor authentication app. Consult your authentication app's manual to learn how to register a key. Each user will have a different authentication key.

 

When the user logs into the system through a Desktop Client, an extra authentication window will be displayed, asking the user for the code that is being displayed in the authentication app.

For greater security, once the authentication key is generated, it can no longer be accessed using the Key button. If you click the Key button again, a warning window will appear and a new key will be created.
