Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Learn how to enable two-factor authentication in GitProtect.
GitProtect supports two-factor authentication (aka 2FA, multi-factor authentication, MFA) based on an authenticator application. To use 2FA with your GitProtect account, you have to first enable MFA in your GitProtect Management Service admin panel, and then set it up.
Enabling MFA in GitProtect
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of your Management Service panel and select Account.
Toggle Two-factor authentication button and click Save in the bottom-right.
You will see the change confirmation in the top-right corner of the screen. Once done, log out of your Management Service, then log back in to trigger MFA setup.
MFA setup in GitProtect
With 2FA turned on in Management Service, you will be prompted to complete the authenticator app setup during your next login. All subsequent logins will require a successful two-factor verification.
Scan the QR code or copy the secret key to your authenticator app. Enter the code from your authenticator app in the designated fields. Once done, click Verify now to finish the application setup.
If the verification is successful, you will see a confirmation message.
Below the message you will find your recovery codes — save them before you go to the management console app. If you fail o save the codes right away, you can generate them later in your Management Service account settings.
Your MFA setup is now complete. Next time you login to your Management Service panel, you will be prompted to verify yourself with MFA.
