Set up two-factor authentication for your Eltworks log in

Overview

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security on top of your username and password when logging into Etlworks. This requires verification of the log in through a second linked device, such as Google Authenticator.

You can use any QR-based authenticator app to set up two-factor authentication with Etlworks.

How is two-factor authentication more secure

Because two-factor authentication requires that someone logging into an account has access to a physical object belonging only to the account owner, the risk of a potential intruder gaining access to your account is much lower.

Log in to Etlworks with enabled 2FA

Once two-factor authentication is enabled, you'll be prompted to enter a code that is delivered to your device upon successful log in.

What happens if I lose my 2FA device?

You can use recovery codes generated when you enable the 2FA for your log in. Each code can only be used once.

To view recovery codes, go to User Profile, select Two-Factor Authentication, and click View your recovery codes.

On this screen, you can also reset your recovery codes.
