Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

What is Multi-Factor Authentication?

MFA is used as an additional layer of securing your account to protect you from phishing attacks or leaked passwords.

Atlar allow you to use hardware security keys, like Yubikey or Ledger, and passkeys either built-in a device like fingerprint reader on a laptop or cross-device on iOS or Android.

Adding Multi-Factor Authenticators

Go to the My account page accessible by clicking your name in the bottom left corner.

Best practices

• Configure more than one MFA option as backup in case one gets lost or destroyed.
• Use a security key for added portability and convenience.
• Regularly update your MFA options.
• Keep security keys personal, just like passwords, don't share them with anyone else.

Requiring MFA

If you want to require users in your organization to authenticate with MFA contact Atlar and we will set that up for you.

How to recover from lost MFA device

To ensure you can always access your account, add multiple MFA options. This way, you can use an alternative MFA method to log in. Remember to remove any lost MFA option to protect your account. If you've lost all MFA devices and are locked out of your account, contact Atlar for manual MFA disabling. This process includes a verification step to ensure that only authorized users regain access to the Atlar Web app.
