How do I set up Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Cotiss account by requiring both your password and a verification code. It helps protect sensitive procurement data and ensures only you can access your account.
Follow the steps below to turn on your Cotiss 2FA:
Click on 'Update' to the right of the Two-Factor Authentication field within Settings > Account > Personal Details
Download an authenticator app on your mobile device - We recommend using one of the following applications for your authenticator app.
Once you have set up an account on your authenticator app - add your Cotiss 2FA by Scanning the available QR code
Enter the code you see on your Authenticator App
Click 'Save'
You will now have 2FA activated for your profile
The 2FA check will occur at login just after you have input your regular password for your Cotiss profile.
