New 2FA setup in ML+

With the 1st login the user needs to setup the 2FA. This has changed a bit and advanced for the option of usage of a so called security stick with FIDO/U2F standard.

Here how it looks now:

First of all the user gets a kind of error screen (but it is not it just says that no 2FA is currently set)

Here they have to click on ‘Add New 2FA Method’ to continue.

What does each mean?

Security device = FIDO/U2F security stick

Codes via app = Authenticator app on smartphone or PC or add-on for browser

Codes via SMS = SMS is sent

What comes next?

Security device

The security stick is a USB stick and has to be entered into a free USB port of the computer.

You have to enter any name in the box saying ‘My security device’ and after connecting the stick with the computer you need to ‘activate’ the stick by using you finger with the fingerprint scanner of the stick. That’s all


 

 

 

Codes via app

Here it depends which version you use but for all simply set any name in the box ‘Authenticator App’ and scan the QR code


 

 

 

Codes via SMS

Simply enter you country code followed by your mobile phone number (without leading zero)
