You can enable two-factor authentication or two-step verification to control access to applications through the Cloud Platform user interface. Two-factor authentication is more secure than password authentication alone. If you enable two-factor authentication for an application, all users trying to access that application must authenticate through a mobile authentication application, like Google Authenticator, Authy, in addition to your email address and password.

Enabling two-factor authentication for an application

To enable two-factor authentication for an application:

• Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface with the Owner or Administrator role and select your application.

• In the navigation pane, click Security.

  

• On the Security page, click Edit settings.

  The system displays the Edit Security Settings page.

• In Two-step verification, select Enabled.

• Click Save.

  This sets up two-factor authentication for the application. Thereafter, all users trying to access that application must authenticate through a two-factor authentication application in addition to email address and password. For more information, visit Using Acquia ID.
