Reconfigure multi-factor authentication

When you reconfigure multi-factor authentication, you can generate new codes and invalidate codes that are generated on previously-configured devices (for example, if your device was lost or stolen), or you can add other devices that will generate the same code.
If you are trying to log in and you have lost access to your device that you already configured with multi-factor authentication, click the
Click here to receive a one time code via email
 option at the top of the
2-Factor Authentication
 screen. After you log in, you can follow these steps to reconfigure it.
You must download and install an authenticator app, such as
Google
 Authenticator, on your mobile device.
  1. On the menu, click
    Profiles
    .
  2. In the
    User preferences
     section, click
    Configure Multi-Factor Authentication
    .
    A dialog with a QR Code appears.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to generate new codes and invalidate codes that are generated on previously configured devices (for example, if your device was lost or stolen), click
      Generate a new code
       and
      OK
       to confirm.
    • If you want to keep codes generated on previously-configured devices valid and add another device that will generate the same code, skip this step.

    1. On your mobile device, open the
      Google
       Authenticator app.
