Set up MFA and recover account access

Use an authenticator app when your tenant or platform policy asks for MFA, and use approved recovery paths when a device is unavailable.

Intended audience

  • Admin
  • HR
  • Manager
  • Employee
  • SuperAdmin

Where to find it

Tenant access: Dashboard → Security → MFA. Platform access: SuperAdmin → MFA setup.

Before you start

  • MFA is tenant-configured for tenant users and is not described here as universally mandatory.
  • SuperAdmin MFA and recovery actions remain protected by platform policy.

Steps

  1. 1

    Follow the enrollment prompt

    When MFA enrollment is required, open the prompt or approved security page and scan the QR code with an authenticator app instead of manually retyping a secret unless the flow explicitly requires it.

  2. 2

    Verify the current code

    Enter a current one-time code from the authenticator app and wait for the product to confirm enrollment before leaving the setup flow.

  3. 3

    Use the approved recovery route

    If you lose the device, use an approved recovery code or contact the assigned security or platform owner; do not create a second identity to bypass MFA.

Expected result

The account remains protected according to the applicable tenant or platform MFA policy, with a documented recovery path if access is lost.

These destinations are verified against the current product navigation or route record. They remain subject to sign-in, feature, tenant, role, and data-scope checks.

Common problems

The authenticator code is rejected.

Check the device time, enter a newly generated code, and restart the approved enrollment or recovery process if the problem continues.
