Setting Up Multi-Factor Authentication

Overview

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of security by generating a one-time code that users must enter during sign in. When you are prompted to set up MFA while activating your account, you can do so using any QR-code-based authenticator app (i.e.Google or Microsoft Authenticator).



Setting up MFA for Your Account

The first time you log into Aurora ASM, you will be prompted to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA).
