Multi Factor sign in backup codes

To ensure the administration users always can access Perfion in case the Email server is unavailable, it is possible to generate five sign in backup codes. The backup codes are only visible until the setting window are closed, make sure you store the five backup codes a safe place outside Perfion.

Login

When the Multi Factor Authentication is enabled, the user will see the normal login screen. After the UserID and Password are validated the Sing in code window will be showed. The system will automatically send an Email to the Email address registered for the user with a Sign in code.

NOTE: The sign in code can only be used for the session that sent the code and cannot be reused to another login. It is only possible to request one sign in code at the time.
