Learn how to set up and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on Ace Public Cloud.

Step 1: Login into your account.

Step 2: Navigate to the Profile section and select Security Settings.

Step 3: Select the Two-Factor Authentication tab.

Step 4: Hit Click here to Enable.

Step 5: You can set 2FA using two methods, Time Based Tokens and SMS Center Two-Factor Authentication. Select your desired method and click on Get Started.

A. If you choose Time Based Tokens, you have to download an authenticator application like Google Authenticator or Duo.

After downloading the app, scan the QR code or enter the code manually in the application.

After scanning, it generates a security code, enter it, and hit Submit button.

Now if you enter the correct security key, your 2FA will enable successfully, and a Backup code will generate, which will be needed in the event when you cannot complete 2FA.

Note: Time-based Token every time generates a new security code, enter it whenever you are login into your account.

B. If you choose SMS Center Two-Factor Authentication, then you have to enter your mobile number to receive the security key on the text message and click on Activate.

Enter the code received on your mobile and hit Activate.

On entering the correct security key, your 2FA will enable successfully, and a Backup code will generate, which will be needed in the event when you cannot complete 2FA.
