Manage Multi Factor

To enable multifactor authentication visit the "Personal Information" page of your account and scroll to the "multifactor authentication".

:::caution In order to avoid being locked out if a factor does not work, we recommend registering several options :::

  2. Click Add AuthFactor
  3. Choose OTP Option
  4. Scan the QR Code with you chosen authenticator app
  5. Enter the code from your app in the ZITADEL Console

Configure U2F (Universal Second Factor)

U2F is dependent on the device and browser you are currently working. In general there might be the following possibilities:

  • FingerScan
  • FaceRecognition (e.g. FaceID)
  • Hardware Tokens (e.g. YubiKey, Solokeys)

Hardware Tokens are basically a piece of hardware such as a USB key that gets linked to your Identity and authorizes as second factor when a button on the device is pressed.

:::info Some example Keys are Solokeys or Yubikey You can choose the one you like the most. :::
