Steps Before You Begin

Two-step verification–also known as two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, or 2FA–is the process of providing two or more pieces of evidence of authentication before being granted access to a software account, computer, etc. 

In Onna, an admin can configure the entire site such that every user must log in using two-step verification. However, if your Onna admin has not set this up for your organization site-wide and you would like to use two-step verification for log in, you can set it up for your individual user account to provide an extra layer of security. 

Before Setting Up Two-Step Verification: 

Before setting up two-step verification within Onna, you will need to install an authenticator app.This app will provide you with the security key you need to enter every time you log in to your site. Onna supports the following authenticator apps: 

• Google Authenticator (for Android and iOS)
• Duo Mobile (for Android and iOS)
• Microsoft Authenticator (for Android, iOS, and Windows Phones)
• Okta (for Android and iOS)
