2 factor authentication in Alta Video
Last modified: Monday July 10, 2023.
Alta Video allows you to use 2 factor authentication (2FA) when logging into your Alta Video deployment. By using 2FA, you increase account security by adding an additional level of protection. It prevents an attacker from logging in if they learn a users credentials. It also helps to prevent account sharing between different users.
As an Administrator, you can mandate that all users in a User group use 2FA when logging into Alta Video. If not mandated, then each user can configure their own account to use 2FA.
Once configured, your users use an authenticator app installed on their cellular phone to generate the Time-based One Time Password (TOTP) verification codes needed to log into your Alta Video deployment.
We recommend your users install either Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator for their iOS or Android devices.
