Upon logging in to your site for the first time, you will receive an alert that you need to set up 2FA (two-factor authentication). This provides an additional layer of security for your site. 2FA increases the college’s security posture and helps to move our platform in line with cybersecurity best practices.

Follow the steps below for enabling 2FA on your site:

Setting Up 2FA for CAFE Drupal Users

1. Log in to your website using its log-in portal (/portal). Once logged in, you will see an alert.

   

2. Click the “setup two-factor authentication” link.
3. Click the “Set up application” link.
4. Enter your current linkblue password, then click the “Confirm” button.
5. Open your preferred authenticator application on your mobile device or computer (i.e., Duo, Google Authenticator, Authy, GAuth Authenticator). We recommend Duo Mobile as this is the application used when logging in to other University of Kentucky applications.
6. Using your authenticator application, scan the QR code or enter the manual code to set up 2FA on your device.
7. Enter the 6-digit code that appears on your device in the “Application verification code” field on your site.
8. Click the “Verify and save” button.
9. Select whether you want your current browser to be trusted. This will allow you to bypass 2FA for 30 days. If you want to mark the browser as trusted, ensure the “Trust this browser?” checkbox is selected, then click the “Save” button. Otherwise, click the “Skip and finish” button.
10. You will receive a green alert indicating “TFA setup complete.” At this point, you can continue to edit your site per usual.
