Two-Factor Authentication is available to increase login security.
- When activated, Users are asked to provide additional validation via a code delivered through SMS (text message) or Email.
- Anyone who has been designated with the Site Admin Security Level is required to authenticate by using the Two-Factor every day or every time they log in from a new browser or computer.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Go to User Maintenance from Admin.

- Choose the User ID.
- Enter Password.
- Select Submit.

- Using the dropdown, enable Two-Factor Authentication.
- All Users that are designated as Site Admin, who manage other Users, are required to choose Every One Day.
- For all other Users, the frequency selected will determine how often the User will be required to authenticate using a Two-Factor code.
- The User will validate when they log in from a different computer or use a different browser.
- Priority: Choose the method to receive the Two-Factor Authentication Code, Cell Phone or Email. The Priority selection determines the default of how the Two-Factor code is delivered to the User.
- Cell Phone and Email: The Priority method chosen for delivery must be entered in the Cell Phone and/or Email fields.
- When both are entered, the delivery method can be overridden when logging in.
- Example: The Cell Phone and Email were entered in User Maintenance, and the Cell Phone was selected for your priority method of delivery.
- If the User did not receive the code on their Cell Phone, they have the option to send it to their Email.
- Select Save [F2].

Using the Two-Factor Verification
When logging in, Users are presented with a Two-Factor Verification screen indicating that a one-time ID has been sent to their phone or Email (depending on the Priority selection on their User profile).
- Cookies must be enabled.
- If the cookies are cleared from the browser, the System will require the User to authenticate at their next login.
- Enter the six-digit code on the Two-Factor Verification pop-up screen.
- Do Not include the prefix letters PM.
- Only use if the User did not receive the code on their Cell Phone.
- The User has the option to send it to their Email or to Resend by Text.
- To receive by Email, the Email address must be entered in User Maintenance.
- Select the Remember this computer checkbox so your browser will not require you to authenticate again until the designated time period expires (as selected in the Two-Factor setup).
- Select Done.
