Overview Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your MGS account. Once enabled, signing in will require your password and a one-time code from your mobile device. This applies to all user types, including Tenant Admins, Standard Registry and Policy User accounts.
Access Your Profile
Log into your MGS account.
Click your user name at the bottom left of the sidebar.
Click the three-dot (ellipsis) menu next to your user name and select Profile.
Find "Security Settings."
Click Setup next to Two-factor authentication.
Start the Setup Process
A window will open titled “Enable two-factor authentication.”
Scan the QR Code or Enter the Key
Open an authenticator app on your mobile device (such as Authy, Google Authenticator, or similar).
Scan the QR code displayed on the screen.
If you cannot scan the code, copy the provided key and enter it manually into your authentication app.
Enter the Code From Your Authenticator App
The authenticator app will generate a 6-digit code.
Enter this code in the “Code” field.
Click Enable.
Download Your Recovery Codes
After enabling 2FA, you will be prompted to download your recovery codes.
Save these codes in a safe place. If you ever lose access to your authenticator app, you can use a recovery code to log in.
2FA Status Confirmation
Once setup is complete, your profile will display: Two-factor authentication true: Active
You can deactivate 2FA at any time from this screen if needed.
Additional Notes
2FA is optional but strongly recommended for all users.
The setup process is the same for both Standard Registry and Policy User accounts.
If you lose both your authenticator app and recovery codes, contact MGS support for assistance.
