Prev Next

This document describes how to register authenticator applications in the Segura® Platform to enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This method adds an extra layer of security to your login by requiring a one-time code generated by your application.

Requirements

  • User registered in the Segura® Platform.
  • A TOTP-based authenticator application installed.

Register an authenticator application

  1. On Segura® Platform, in the navigation bar, click the User menu and select Configure MFA.
  2. When you select the Authenticator Apps option, you’ll be directed to the Authenticator Apps screen, which displays a QR Code and an authentication code.
Info

The authentication code displayed on this screen is provided for situations where QR Code scanning capabilities are unavailable.

  1. Launch your selected authenticator application and proceed with the application's instructions for either scanning the QR Code or manually entering the authentication code.
  2. The authenticator application will generate an authentication code. Copy this code to the Enter authentication code field.
  3. Click Validate to complete the registration process.

A success message will confirm the successful completion of the process. During your next login attempt, you’ll be prompted to provide an authentication token after entering your access credentials.
