Configure two-factor authentication for yourself

Follow these steps to configure PAS to require two-factor authentication when you log in. That means that PAS will prompt for your credentials as well as a generated authentication code from an authenticator app.

Before continuing, you will need to have already installed an authentication app on your mobile device. PAS is compatible with many such apps, including Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile, 1Password, Auth, and Microsoft Authenticator.

  1. On the User Account menu, select Settings to open the Settings page.

  2. In the Two-factor Authentication section, select Use Authenticator App to open the Authenticator verification dialog.

  3. Using the authenticator app on your mobile device, either scan the QR code or enter the key shown on-screen into the authenticator app.

  4. In PAS, enter the generated code.

  5. Select Submit and then select OK to close the success message.

    After setting two-factor authentication, the Use Authenticator App button changes to Disable Authenticator App Security. To turn two-factor authentication off, follow the same steps as above, select that button, and follow the on-screen prompts.
