Security

If you want to have more protection of your user access use two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication is a program you can install on your smartphone. It will generate a code which you have to enter in addition to your password when you register.

Activate this additional security measure via <Profile> | <Data access> | <Two-factor authentication>. You only need to follow the step-by-step instructions to conclude the installation.

There are two possibilities to use the two factor authentication, either by the means of an authentication app or a security token. In the following both possibilities are described in more detail.

Two-factor authentication by authentication app

Note: You need an authenticator app on your smartphone for this security meachnism.

Several producers offer authenticator apps, e.g. FreeOTP by Red Hat or Authenticator by Google, Microsoft or Sophos.

Two-factor authentication by Security-Token

Note: You need a security token for this security mechanism.

A One-Time Password (OTP) generator is a pre-requisite. This hardware generates one-time passwords.
