Introduction

Security related actions such as resetting password or logging in can be made more secure by setting up 2-factor authentification. It is switched off be default, but all users are allowed to switch it on for theirselves easily. The user is required to follow these steps:

Setup 2FA

1. Login to https://<NAMESACE>.pipeforce.net

2. Click on “My Profile”

Open

3. Click on “Authentification” (in German: Multiauthentifizierung)

Open

4. Follow the steps written there. When you have downloaded Google Authenticator, scanned the QR-Code and entered the OTP (One-Time-Password) you will see this success result:

Log-in with 2FA

When the user is entering both his username and password for login, another form will appear:

When seeing this, the user needs to open his Google Authentificator App and lookup the one-time password for his setup account. Note that this code is changing every 30 seconds. If you miss to enter in that time-window you can simply use the next 30 second time window.

Reset password with 2FA

Use “Forgot password” function in the login form:

1. Wait for the reset link sent to your account email. Click on it.

2. Authenticator Setup is showing - there you need to copy the QR code again to reconfigure 2 factor authentification. Attention: Google Authenticator App will ask you to overwrite your former configuration. You need to confirm it.
