Contact your administrator if unsure about password requirements.
MFA Issues
This application uses TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) for multi-factor authentication, compatible with authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password.
Lost Authenticator Access
Symptom: Can't access authenticator app
Solutions:
- Try backup device - If your authenticator app syncs across devices
- Contact support - You will need identity verification to remove MFA from your account
Important: This application does not support recovery codes. If you lose access to your authenticator app without a backup, you will need to contact support for account recovery, which requires identity verification. Always ensure your authenticator app syncs to multiple devices or maintain a backup of your TOTP setup.
MFA Code Not Working
Symptom: 6-digit code rejected repeatedly
Solutions:
- Wait for new code - Codes rotate every 30 seconds
- Check phone time - Your device clock must be accurate for TOTP to work
- Verify correct account - Ensure you're using the right entry in your authenticator app
- Re-sync app - Some authenticator apps have a time sync option
Session Issues
Signed Out Unexpectedly
Symptom: Suddenly logged out
Possible causes:
- Session expired - Sessions expire after a period of inactivity (managed by the authentication system)
