Setting up Multi-factor authentication

To start the process, a user must check the Two-Factor authentication box.

Login to the system with your normal login credentials. Go to Access > Local Users, select your login account, and select Modify User Password from the Actions menu.

Refer to the Figure Two-factor authentication check-box: Check the Two-Factor authentication box and click the Modify button.

At the Authenticator Setup screen, you can do a screen capture of the QR code or scan the QR code with your phone, depending on the requirements of your authenticator app.

The next step of the process will depend on your authentication application of choice.

Just as an example, consider the process for the 3rd-party application 1Password.
  1. Create a 1Password Account at 1Password.com.
  2. Install 1Password on the device that you will use for authentication.
  3. Create a 1Password vault and item for the TS4300. Make sure that the login credentials match your TS4300 account.
  4. Log into the TS4300 GUI and set your account to Two-Factor authentication.
  5. At the Authenticator Setup screen, do a screen capture of the QR code and paste it into the 1Password entry for the TS4300.
  6. You will get a Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) from 1Password. If you are using a laptop or desktop, copy this to your device clipboard.
  7. In the TS4300 Authenticator Setup screen, paste the the value in TOTP field and click OK.

Now every time you login, go to 1Password and get a TOTP to complete the Two-Factor authentication process to log into the TS4300.
