Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring both your password and a time-based code when you log in.
A smartphone with an authenticator app installed
Access to your account settings on CISO Assistant
Sign in to your account and navigate to 'My profile'
Select the 'Settings' button
Look for the Security section and click 'Enable 2FA'
Set up your authenticator app:
Open your authenticator app on your smartphone
Scan the QR code displayed on your screen
Alternatively, you can manually enter the provided secret code into your authenticator app
Enter the 6-digit verification code shown in your authenticator app
Click 'Enable 2FA' to complete the setup
After enabling MFA, you'll receive a set of recovery codes. These codes are crucial for regaining access to your account if you:
Lose your phone
Uninstall your authenticator app
Cannot access your authenticator app for any reason
Security Warning:
Store your recovery codes in a secure location, separate from your password
Each recovery code can only be used once
Never share your recovery codes with anyone
Consider storing a copy both digitally (in a password manager) and physically (printed in a secure location)
Test your MFA setup by logging out and back in
Reach out for support if you encounter any issues during setup
