Set up your MFA

00:09

If multi factor authentication, or MFA, has been enabled

00:12

on any folder on a production that you're a part of,

00:15

the first time you log in, you'll be asked to set that up.

00:20

To set up your MFA you'll need a mobile device with Google authenticator installed.

00:25

Info on how to download and install Google authenticator will be linked below.

00:30

Your first step in setting up MFA is to enter your phone

00:33

number complete with selecting the country code from the drop down menu.

00:39

Once you enter your phone number,

00:41

click the text button and you'll be sent a code to use during the MFA setup process.

00:47

Once you receive it, enter it

00:52

and then click the Next button.

00:55

Now that you've linked your phone to our MFA,

00:57

here's where you'll need to use the Google Authenticator app.

01:00

For the rest of the setup process,

01:02

this free app will make it easier for you to find

01:05

the MFA code used for each login going forward.

01:09

Once you have it installed,

01:11

click the plus button inside the Google authenticator

01:13

app and then click Scan a QR code.

01:17

Next scan the QR code on the login screen using your phone.

01:22

The Google Authenticator app should now show a six digit code tied to

01:27

your email address that can be used for logging in going forward,

01:30

which will refresh every 30 seconds.

01:34

Click the next button in the browser

01:36

and enter your new MFA code.

01:39

Note that this isn't the code you were sent via text message,

01:43

but instead a new code that is found within the Google Authenticator app itself.

01:48

Once the code is entered, click Complete Set.

01:52

That's it - MFA setup is now complete.

01:54

When signing in in the future,

01:56

once you've entered your email and password, you'll be asked for an MFA code,

02:00

which can now be found under that account

02:02

in the Google Authenticator app.
