Set up and use multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) increases account security by adding an additional factor required to log in to Q.wiki.

Enabling MFA

To set up MFA for the account, open the profile and navigate to the “Security” section. Click on “Set up” there.

Follow the on-screen instructions during the setup process.

There are a number of methods you can use to access MFA, including popular password managers and authenticator apps. Password managers like 1Password are supported options.

Scan the QR code or enter the code manually, then click “Activate Now”.

Enter the generated code to complete the MFA setup as final confirmation.

After successful setup, the MFA code must be entered each time you log in.

Deactivating MFA

MFA can be deactivated at any time in the profile under the same menu item.

KeyUsers can use the user administration to check which user has activated two-factor authentication. They can also deliberately deactivate two-factor authentication for individual users if the user has locked themselves out.
