This manual explains the first-time Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) setup process in PADS4. When MFA is available or required for a user account, PADS4 shows the Setup Two-Factor Authentication screen after login so you can register an authenticator app. This screen appears the first time you log in to PADS4 and MFA setup is needed. It lets you connect an authenticator app by scanning the QR code or, as an alternative, by entering the manual code shown on the screen.

​
How to complete the setup

  1. Log in to PADS4.
  2. When the Setup Two-Factor Authentication screen appears, open the authenticator app on the mobile device.
  3. Scan the QR code shown on the screen with the authenticator app.\

  4. If scanning is not possible, enter the Manual Code in the authenticator app instead.
  5. After the authenticator app has been configured, click Continue to Verification to proceed to the next step.

​
Skip option

A Skip button may be visible on this screen. This option is only valid until MFA is enforced, so complete the setup as soon as possible and don’t wait until the last moment. If MFA has already been enforced for the environment or user, skipping setup may no longer be allowed. In that case, you must complete the QR code or manual code registration process before access can continue.
