Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Setup Guide

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.
