Setting Two-Factor Authentication

To add an extra layer of security to your account, you can set up a two factor authentication.

Ensure the following:

  • Your personal device must be able to produce standard time-based authentication codes (TOTP)
  • Authenticators like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy is available on your personal device
  • The time on you personal device matches the Sintelix Server time or is less than 3 minutes for authentication code to function

To setup the authentication:

  1. Login to Sintelix, click your user name and select the My account, as shown in the following:

  2. Click the Add button next to Two-factor authentication

    The Activate two-factor authentication dialog with a QR code and TOPT code, as shown in the following example, is displayed:

  3. Do one of the following using your authenticator:
    • Scan the image displayed on your Activate two-factor authentication dialog
    • Enter the time based code displayed on the Activate two-factor authentication dialog
  4. Enter the 6 digit code sent to the authenticator and click Activate

After the two-factor authentication is setup, every time you log in to Sintelix, a code is generated on your personal device. Enter the code in Sintelix to authenticate yourself.
