Two-Factor Authentication Setup​

System Administrators can choose to require two-factor authentication (2FA) for Tangram Pro™ user accounts. If your organization requires 2FA, configuration steps will be shown immediately after completing account setup.

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) is an extra layer of security to help ensure that people trying to access a web-based account are who they say they are. Users must have access to an authenticator application like Google Authenticator or Authy to use this feature.

Enable 2FA

You must have access to an authenticator application to complete account setup when 2FA is required. Please contact your System Administrator if this is not possible.

How to enable two factor authentication during account setup​

  1. Scan the QR Code or manually enter the code shown on screen in your authentication app
  2. Click Continue
  3. Enter the Authentication Code from you app into the text field, then click Verify Code
  4. Save your backup codes, then click Finish

Your account setup is complete, and you are ready to begin using Tangram Pro™.

Authenticate 2FA

tip

It is very important to save 2FA backup codes in a secure place. These codes will allow users to log in with 2FA in the event that they are unable to access their authentication application. Click Copy Codes to paste the codes to a file or click Download Backup Codes to save a file with the codes included.

Logging in with 2FA​

After enabling 2FA, you must provide a Second Factor Code during login. If you have access to a second factor device, you can enter the Authentication Code from their authentication app. You can also complete login with a backup code if you cannot use another device.
