VaultOne: Generate an MFA Code

VaultOne can generate multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes internally, removing the need to rely on external authenticator applications. Once configured, VaultOne automatically generates the MFA code when you connect to an application that requires this second authentication factor.

Prerequisites:

• You must have the QR code generated by the web applications that require MFA.

Configuring MFA Code Generation

To configure a credential to generate MFA codes in VaultOne:

1. Log in to the VaultOne platform.
2. In the main menu, click Credentials.
3. Click + Add Credential to configure a new credential, or click the name of an existing credential to edit it.
4. In the General tab, scroll to the bottom of the page to MultiFactor Authentication and select Click to load a QR code.
5. Under Load QR code image from external system, select Choose file and upload the QR code image from the web application.
   • For example: Google, Microsoft, or any other service that uses QR code authentication.
6. (Optional) If your app generated a alphanumeric string instead of a QR, select I have a code and paste it in the field.

After you complete these steps, VaultOne displays the automatically generated MFA code for that credential. You can then copy and use this code to complete the authentication for the application that requires it.
