Two-factor Authentication

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) adds an additional layer of security to your account.

When logging in, 2FA requires an extra validation besides your password, usually a mobile phone or a security key.

As cyber-attacks on businesses, governments and nonprofits continue to evolve, we need to act preventively. 2FA is highly effective in guarding access to your account, preventing data theft and infrastructure destruction.

Note. If you are using Single Sign-on (SSO), you do not need Two-factor Authentication (2FA) in Apsis One, since the 2FA should instead be configured on you SSO provider. SSO is an identification method that brings additional security and enables users to log in to multiple applications with one set of credentials.


Set up Two-factor Authentication

Set up Two-factor Authentication by verifying via mobile app, or via SMS if you prefer.

1. Go to Settings, in the top right corner, and proceed to Profile Settings.

2. Under Two-factor Authentication, chose verification via app or SMS-verification.

If you happen to lose your device and are unable to log in with an SMS code or Google Authenticator, please Customer Service.

Verification via App

1. Click Enable verification via app. You will need a smartphone to authenticate with this method.

2. Download the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device, either from the

App Store or the Google Play Store.

You can only disable Two-factor Authentication when you're already logged in to APSIS One.
