Factors
Manage Multi Factor​
To enable multifactor authentication visit the "Personal Information" page of your account and scroll to the "multifactor authentication".
caution
In order to avoid being locked out if a factor does not work, we recommend registering several options
Configure OTP (One Time Password)​
An OTP application creates a dynamic Token that changes periodically and needs to be added in addition to the password.
- Install an appropriate OTP application of your choice
- Click Add AuthFactor
- Choose OTP Option
- Scan the QR Code with you chosen authenticator app
- Enter the code from your app in the ZITADEL Console
info
Some example Authenticator Apps for OTP are: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy. You can choose the one you like the most.
Configure U2F (Universal Second Factor)​
U2F is dependent on the device and browser you are currently working. In general there might be the following possibilities:
- FingerScan
- FaceRecognition (e.g. FaceID)
- Hardware Tokens (e.g. YubiKey, Solokeys)
Hardware Tokens are basically a piece of hardware such as a USB key that gets linked to your Identity and authorizes as second factor when a button on the device is pressed.
