Set MFA with an Authenticator App with QR code

By using an Authenticator App instead on SMS will allow users to log in if there is no reception for their phone to retrieve code via SMS

  1. Go to your school's Cloudwork.ID (looks like https://<schoolname>-id.cloudworkengine.net)
  2. Navigate to the top right of the site where your name is
  3. Click Settings
  4. In Mulftifactor Authentication click Add Authenticator App
  5. Using Google Authenticator click on the bottom right, the plus sign
  6. Click Scan a QR code
  7. Point the camera to the QR code so the red lines line up with the QR code on your school's Cloudwork.ID
  8. Input code that is shown on Google Authenticator, to your school's Cloudwork.ID

Notes

  • Users do not need to use Google Authenticator App, there are other apps such as Microsoft Authenticator and Authy 2-Factor Authentication
