In this article, we will provide you the instructions on setting up two-factor authentication for your Veracity account.
Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication for Your Veracity Account
To enable multi-factor authentication, go to “User settings” under your profile.
Click on “Security”:
Before you can enable two-factor authentication, you need to register (enroll) the method you want to use. The standard method allowed is TOTP as it is more secure.
Install an authenticator app on your phone/mobile device that supports TOTP (e.g. Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator).
Click on “Enroll TOTP”.
In your authenticator app on your phone, add a new account:
· Microsoft Authenticator:
i. Click on the + sign in the upper right corner
ii. Click Work or school account
iii. Select “Scan QR code” and hold your phone over the QR code shown
in the browser (the QR code looks like the one marked in red in the image
above).
· Google Authenticator:
i. Click on the + sign in the lower right corner and click on “Scan a QR code”
ii. Hold your phone over the QR code in the browser (the QR code looks like the one marked in red in the image above).
Back in the web browser, click the “Continue” button.
Input the code you see in your authenticator app and click on “Verify”.
The last step is to enable two-factor authentication for your account.
Register phone number for account recovery
After a period of time, you’ll be prompted to register a phone number as well.
When you click “Continue”, you will see the below. Specify your phone number and click on “Send code” or “Call me”.
If you clicked on the “Call me” option, you will receive a call from Microsoft and you need to approve it by pressing the # key. If you selected “Send code”, input the code sent to you by SMS and click on “Verify code”.
