Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) allows you to improve your account security by requiring another form of verification when signing in using your email and password.

Requirements

Multi-factor authentication requires an email and password login. If you log in to Fauna using GitHub or Netlify, you can enable email and password login using the Forgot Password workflow.

Configure multi-factor authentication

  1. In the Fauna Dashboard, click the user icon in the upper right and selectPersonal Settings.

  2. Under Multi-Factor Authentication, click Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication.

  3. Enter your password and click Continue.

  4. Follow the instructions prompting you to download a one-time password (OTP) application, such as Google Authenticator, to your iOS or Android mobile device.

  5. In the OTP application, add a new account or open your mobile device camera and scan the QR code displayed in the dialog.

  6. The OTP application displays an OTP that you can use to log in to the Dashboard. Enter the OTP in the dialog.

    OTP codes are time-based. If the OTP code expires before you use it, use the updated code.

  7. The Dashboard displays a list of one-time-use recovery codes that can be used to access your account if your mobile device is lost or inoperative. Save the recovery codes and select the checkbox to confirm that you have saved the codes.

  8. Click Done to complete configuration. The OTP displayed on your mobile device is now required when you log in to your Fauna account.
