Two-factor authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security for your account.
In addition to your username and password, a one-time code is required to log in. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
In the PILOT system, two 2FA methods are available:
  • TOTP Authentication — via an authenticator app
  • Email Authentication — via a verification code sent to your email
Two-factor authentication must be enabled by your contract administrator.

TOTP Authentication

— TOTP authentication adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a temporary code from a mobile app.
How to Enable TOTP:
  • Before your first sign-in, install an authenticator app for iOS or Android:
Twilio Authy для Android                             Twilio Authy для iOS
2. In the Privacy tab, find the Two-factor authentication section

4. Scan the QR code using the authenticator app you installed

How to Log In with TOTP:

2. Enter your credentials: login and password
3. Click Enter
4. When prompted, enter the six-digit code from your authenticator app. Open the app on your smartphone, find the six-digit code, and enter it in the field on your computer.
The code refreshes every 30 seconds. If it changes before you finish entering it, wait for the next one and enter that.
5. Click Log in
