How Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Setup Works

Overview

This process guides a user through enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of security to their account. Once enabled, users must verify their identity using a second method when logging in.

Step 2: Download Authenticator App & Scan QR Code

  • Download an authenticator app (e.g. Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator)
  • Scan the QR Code displayed on screen
    (or manually enter the key if needed)

👉 This links your account to your mobile device, which will generate secure login codes.

Step 3: Enter Verification Code

  • Open your authenticator app
  • Enter the 6-digit code generated

👉 This confirms the app has been successfully linked to your account.

⚠️ If the code is incorrect:

  • You will see an error (e.g. “PIN is not correct”)
  • Re-enter the latest code from the app
  • Click Continue

Step 4: Set Up Security Questions (The build to use as back up will be delivered before end of 2026)

  • Select and answer 3 security questions

👉 These act as a backup authentication method if you cannot access your authenticator app.

  • Click Continue

Step 5: Add Backup Email Address

  • Enter an alternate email address
    (must be different from your login email)

👉 This provides another recovery method for account access.

  • Click Continue
    (or “Not now” if optional)

Step 6: Confirm Backup Email

  • Check your email inbox
  • You will receive a One-Time Password (OTP)
  • Enter the 6-digit code into the system

👉 This verifies ownership of the backup email address.

  • Click Continue


Step 7: MFA Setup Complete

  • You will see “MFA Enabled”

👉 Going forward:

  • Login will require:
    • Your password
    • A code from your authenticator app (or backup method)
  • Click Finish

What This Means for Users

  • Your account is now more secure
  • Even if your password is compromised, access is protected
  • You must have access to your authenticator app (or backup method) to log in

Common Issues

Incorrect Code

  • Ensure you are using the latest code from the authenticator app
  • Codes refresh every ~30 seconds

No Access to Authenticator App

  • Use security questions or backup email
  • Contact support if all methods are unavailable

Step 8: Logging In with MFA Enabled (Ongoing Use)

Once Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) has been successfully set up, the login process will change.

What is happening

  • After entering your username and password, you will be prompted with an additional screen
  • This screen requires you to enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app

What you need to do

  • Open your authenticator app on your mobile device
  • Locate the code linked to your account
  • Enter the 6-digit code into the login screen
  • Click Next to proceed

Optional Setting

  • You can select “Remember me for 30 days”

👉 This will:

  • Reduce how often you are prompted for MFA on that device
  • Only apply to the device/browser you are using

Outcome

  • Once the correct code is entered, you will be logged into the system
  • This step will be required each time you log in (unless “Remember me” is enabled)

Important Notes

  • The code refreshes every ~30 seconds
  • Always use the most recent code shown in your authenticator app
  • If the code is incorrect, you will need to re-enter the latest one
