Setting up two factor authentication

Users will need access to view their CMS profile (/admin/myprofile) to enable and manage two factor authentication. Depending on the configuration, the below screenshots may look slightly different, but the general process is the same.

  1. Log into the CMS and navigate to your profile's "Two Factor Authentication" tab. 2fa activation

  2. Check the "Enable Two Factor Authentication" checkbox and save your profile, or click the button. This will generate a Timed One-Time Password token and a QR code to set up in your second factor application (Google Authenticator, for example). screen shot 2017-06-20 at 15 37 38
