        Logging into IDScan Administrative Portal with Two-factor authentication

        Passwords might not be enough to keep your account safe from potential hackers. We recommend setting up Two-Step Verification so that no one else can access your account even if they know your password. 

        Two-Step Verification provides a second layer of security by asking you to enter a code from your smartphone when you log in so that we know it's really you. 

        Setting up Two-Step Verification only takes a few easy steps.

        We recommend you download and install the Google Authenticator app:

        Two-factor authentication

        This method of authentication requires two different authentication factors; typically something you know (username/password) and something that you have (a token or cell phone), or something that you are (a biometric). Moderate strength authentication is required.

        QR-code

        • Use the application to scan QR-code or use your secret code to activate two-factor authentication.

        • Now you have two-factor authentication enabled.

        Recovery codes

        You'll need a recovery code to restore access to your account if you lose your smartphone.

        • The recovery codes can be used to access your account if you do not have access to the device and cannot obtain the two-factor authentication codes.
        • Store the codes in a safe place. If you lose the device and do not save the recovery codes, you will lose access to your account.
        • Treat your codes as carefully as your password.

        Generate new recovery codes

        • When creating new recovery codes, these new codes must be downloaded or printed. Your old codes don’t work anymore.
        Note:

        If an operator remains idle for 30 minutes, the system automatically logs him off, and he needs to log in again to access the Customer Portal
