Enabling Two-Factor Authentication for an Administrator

An account with Two-Factor Authentication enabled requires each administrator to enable it for themselves and add a device with an authenticator. The steps for each administrator are as follows:

1 Install an authenticator application on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. It will be used in a later step to capture a QR code generated by CyberAudit-Web.
2 Click the must be enabled link in the Home page warning or select Two-Factor Authentication from the Administrators menu.

4 Click CONTINUE.
5 CyberAudit-Web generates 16 one-time passwords for each login which may be used in the event an authenticator app is not available. Save these Backup Codes to a file and/or print them. Be sure they are stored in a secure location.

After the codes are saved or printed, the CONTINUE button will appear. Click it to continue.

6 Use the authenticator app to scan the QR code or copy and paste the QR code contents into a desktop authenticator. Then enter the resulting 6-digit OTP into the input field. Click ENTER.
