Add User

The Add User page allows you to create a new Multi-Factor Authentication account.

To add a new user:

  1. Enter the user details.

  2. Click the Add button.

Country Code

Select the appropriate country code from the drop-down list. The default is set to United States & Canada +1.

Enter the phone number that Multi-Factor Authentication will call or text during authentication. This may be a mobile phone number, desk phone number, or some other number for the phone call method.  It must be a phone with text message capabilities for the text message method.  The phone number format must match the format selected in the Country Code field.

 

Example: For U.S. and Canadian phone numbers, you must enter a 10-digit phone number (e.g., 555-123-4567).

 

Extension

Enter the extension that will be dialed after the call is answered.  Digits, commas, *, and # are allowed.  Commas can be used for a one second pause to navigate phone system menus.  This field is optional.

Type the user's PIN.  Or, you can generate the PIN by clicking the Generate button.  The PIN must adhere to the rules for PIN Minimum Length and weak PINs.

 

Generate Button

The Generate button provides a randomly generated PIN.  The generated PIN's length will be the greater of 4 digits or the user's minimum PIN length.

 

Confirm PIN

Retype the PIN you entered in the PIN field. Confirm PIN must match exactly.

 

Enabled

Specifies whether the user is enabled.  The default is checked.

Note: The PIN Change Required checkbox will only be displayed if company configuration allows users to change their PIN.
