Chapter 2: STRIDE SiteLink Platform
Two-factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication is an additional security feature that requires a second, one-time-use
passcode, in addition to your configured password, for every login. This protects your account
from access by someone who has learned you login name and password.
These one-time passcodes are generated by an authentication app on a smartphone, and are
valid for a short amount of time. The passcodes are based on a key shared by the SiteLink
platform and a time-based encryption algorithm. Thus, access to the enrolled phone device
provides a second authentication of your identity.
Setting Up Two-factor Authentication
1. Download an Authentication Application
To generate a valid one-time password, you need a mobile device with an authentication
application installed on the device. Most commonly a mobile phone is used, but other devices
like a tablet are also an option.
CHOOSING A DEVICE: You need access to your registered device to log in to your account, so choose a device
you keep with you at all times. The authentication apps do not require a data connection to generate a valid one-time
password and will continue to refresh their codes even in airplane mode.
There are a number of free authentication apps available for multiple device operating systems.
Our examples show Google Authenticator.
2. Enable Two-factor Authentication
To enable two-factor authentication on the SiteLink Platform, click your username at the top of
the first-tier menu, then select “My profile.” find the Login and Security block under My Profile
in the 1st-tier menu after clicking your username.
