Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication

Publisher: Psychz Networks,  July 17,2020

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a process where a user is prompted during a sign-in event for additional identification forms. This prompt could be to enter a code on their cellphone or to provide a fingerprint scan. When you require a second form of authentication, security increases as this additional factor isn't easy for an attacker to obtain or duplicate.

Psychz Network offers Multi-Factor Authentication that includes Two Factor Authentication and IP Access Control, which allows only restricted access to valid users. This feature gives you the flexibility to enable MFA for users during specific sign-in events.

In this tutorial, you learn how to enable Multi-Factor Authentication using:

  • IP Access Control
  • Two Factor Authentication 

You can access both the functionality by accessing "Security" from the drop-down menu under "My Account" from the menu bar on the screen's left side. You can also access these feature by clicking on the following link https://www.psychz.net/dashboard/client/web/security/managesecurity

 

IP Access Control

If you are using a VPN connection or a static IP to connect to the internet, you can enable this feature as this will only allow access to user/s from a specified IP address registered in the system.

Click on the IP Access Control button to access this feature. Here you can add the desired IP address, which you will be using to access your account. Click on "Add" to do so. Input the IP address in the specific field along with the description below it and click on add. An email will be sent to your email ID with the confirmation link. You need to click on the confirmation link to apply the changes in the system. Once you verify, the status changes from Pending to Active, and the IP is successfully registered in the system.

 

Two Factor Authentication

 This feature allows you additional access security by offering login using a QR code to generate a key that can be used to login to the system. By default, this feature is disabled, and you need to enable it. Once you click on the enable button, an email will be sent to your registered email ID with a confirmation link. Click on this link to proceed further with the setup. Follow the steps given below to enable this feature.

Step 1

 You will be provided multiple Recovery Keys. These are one time codes that you can use when you don't have access to an authenticator app. We recommend using a password manager like KeePass, LastPass, 1Password, or Keeper.

Step 2

Use an authenticator app to scan the QR code or enter the secret code manually in your app. We recommend Authy, 1Password, LastPass to use as an authenticator.

Step 3

Two-factor authentication is now enabled on your account. You can soon return to the main manage page for Two-Factor authentication by clicking on the "Complete" button below.
