Set up MFA

Instructions

1 Introduction

1.1 Why MFA (Multi Factor Authentication)

Multi-factor authentication is an electronic authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more forms of identity verification before they’re allowed access to a website, network, or application.  


To access HUBER+SUHNER data, two factors are required:

  1. something you know - your password
  2. something you have - a physical object, such as a mobile phone or a security key.
    This is called the “verification method”


1.2 How to enable MFA 

When logging in the first time, you will be asked to choose and set up your verification method:

Please decide for an option before you start the process of activating MFA and have the app ready on your mobile phone or the security key in hand.

  • Salesforce Authenticator App (mobile phone) 
  • Authenticator App other than Salesforce: Microsoft recommended (mobile phone) 
  • Security Key (FIDO2 Key) 
  • Portable open-source Authenticator


You will find the instruction for each method in the following chapters.
