Two-factor authentication for administrators
Added 21-Feb-2017
Two-factor authentication can now be enabled for portal users, providing an additional level of security for access to the cloud portal. When this feature is enabled, all administrators are required to enter both their password and a code generated by an authenticator app to access the portal.
Note
Compatible authenticator apps are available for Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows Phone. Desktop and browser-based apps are also available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Forcepoint validates this feature with the Microsoft Authenticator app, but alternative apps that use the Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP) protocol, such as Google Authenticator, are also supported.
Administrators can enable or disable two-factor authentication for portal administrators using the
Account > Contacts
page.
When users log on with two-factor authentication for the first time, a setup wizard guides them through the configuration process.
For portal users who are unable to use their authenticator app, two-factor authentication can be reset on the
User
page. This requires portal users to repeat the authenticator app setup process.
The process of enabling and using two-factor authentication is detailed in the
TRITON AP-EMAIL Cloud Manager Help
.
