How to enable two-factor authentication
To provide another layer of security, turn on "Two-Factor Authentication by email" to protect access to your Qblue Inventory account.
To enable the two-factor authentication (2FA) by email:
- Go to Manage account
- Tick "Enable Two-Factor Authentication by email"
- Click "Save"
Note: for this to work, you must have a valid email address set in your account profile!
What is 2FA?
After 2FA is enabled, this is what happens the next time you log into Qblue Inventory:
- After correctly entering your username and password, an email message with the security confirmation code will be sent to your email address. It may take a few minutes for the code to arrive and if need to, check in the junk mail folder.
- The system prompts for the confirmation code similar to the below
- Enter the confirmation code
- Click Submit to login
The confirmation code expires in 6 minutes. After this time, you can re-login and it will generate a new code to be sent to your email address.
Tip: to avoid having to enter the confirmation code the next time you log in using the same browser, check the "Remember Browser" checkbox to save the current browser session.
