This topic describes the operations related to Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Background information
MFA is a security mechanism that requires users to verify their identities using two or more different authentication factors. This enhances the security of your account or system. After enabling MFA, you can use it for secondary verification during login.
Prerequisites
You have downloaded and installed the Authenticator app on your mobile device:
iOS: Search for and install Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Aliyun, 1Password, LastPass, or Authenticator in the AppStore.
Android: Search for and install Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, LastPass, or Authenticator from the app store.
Procedure
Log in to the OceanBase Cloud console.
Click the
icon in the upper-right corner and select User Preferences.On the MFA tab, click Enable MFA and enter the verification code sent to your email or phone number in the popup dialog box.
Use your mobile device to scan the QR code and enter the verification code displayed on your mobile device.
Note
If you cannot scan the QR code, you can use the text-based key for binding.
What to do next
Click Remove MFA and enter the verification code to unbind the MFA. After unbinding, MFA verification will be automatically disabled for the current account during login. Proceed with caution.
