How To: Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

The ConSol team has worked hard to integrate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to strengthen the platform's security. The steps to set up MFA are as follows.

1: Depending on your operating system, download the Google Authenticator app from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS).

2: Visit the ConSol login page, enter your credentials, and click "Login." You will be redirected to the first-time authentication screen shown below.

3. Adding Your Authentication Code to Google Authenticator

There are two methods for adding your authentication code to Google Authenticator:

• Method 1: Using a QR Code
  As shown in Figure 3.1, to set up MFA with a QR code, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Google Authenticator app.
  2. Tap the "Add Code" button or the "+" icon located at the bottom right corner.
  3. Select the "Scan QR Code" option.
  4. Scan the QR code generated by ConSol.

• Method 2: Using a Secret Key
  As shown in Figure 3.2, if you prefer to use a secret key for setup, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Google Authenticator app.
  2. Tap the "Add Code" button or the "+" icon at the bottom right.
  3. Choose the "Enter Setup Key" option.
  4. Paste the secret key generated by ConSol into the "Your Key" field.

4: Once you've scanned the QR code, the Google Authenticator app will generate a 6-digit TOTP (Time-based one-time password) code that changes every 30 seconds. Enter this code into the "Authentication Code" field on your ConSol screen and click "Verify."
