Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-Factor Authentification is accessible from the profile management page, in the Password section.

2FA-location

Prerequisite

To use 2FA, you or your organisation must use an authenticator app or browser extension. Some examples are :

  • FreeOTP Authenticator
  • Bitwarden
  • Google Authenticator
  • Microsoft Authenticator

many more exist, but we recommend those applications.

Enabling 2FA

2FA-creation-dialog

Once your authenticator downloaded, you will have to scan the QR Code with said authenticator. The authenticator will give you a one time password that is needed in Octoperf to finish setting up 2FA.

Tip

setup-key If your authenticator does not allow for a QR scan, you can also copy the setup key and paste it in your authenticator.

recovery-codes
Verifying successfully will prompt recovery codes to you. Those codes can be used in case your authenticator isn't working, or you removed Octoperf from your authenticator without disabling 2FA.

Warning

Please keep these codes as you will not be able to see them after this.

Disabling 2FA

2FA can be disabled at any time once you are logged in your account from the same button. 2FA-enabled

You will be prompted to enter your authenticator verification code or one of your recovery codes. Once the popup closes, you have successfully disabled 2FA on your account.

2FA Login

If 2FA is enabled on your account, after your basic authentication, you will be prompted with your 2FA verification. Use the code provided by your authenticator. login-2FA

Note

if you cannot enter your authenticator code, click on Use recovery code and enter one of your recovery codes. login-recovery
