Using two-factor authentication with Acquia ID
Two-factor authentication (TFA) or two-step verification adds an extra layer of security beyond a password. Acquia recommends enabling TFA on your Acquia ID-supported product accounts, which requires using an authentication app such as Google Authenticator or Authy along with your email and password. TFA is mandatory to access any TFA-enabled application in Acquia. In addition, you can adopt phishing-resistant MFA methods such as FIDO2 tokens or passkeys. These methods use cryptographic credentials that are unique to each service and cannot be stolen through phishing attacks, offering a much higher level of security than current authenticator apps. This MFA method aligns with federal standards such as NIST 800-63B. Acquia ID supports this additional configuration.
Note
The Acquia ID-supported product user interface requires you to sign in again if it has been more than 90 minutes after the last time you signed in.
As an application administrator or owner, you can enforce TFA for all users of your application. If TFA is enabled and you attempt to access the application without having set it up, you get an error and must configure TFA after logging into your product. For more information, visit Setting up TFA on your Acquia user account.
Supported mobile authentication applications
Acquia supports TFA through the following mobile authentication applications:
Acquia supports TFA through the following options:
Yubikey 5Ci
Feitian BioPass
HID Crescendo smart card
Windows Hello on Windows 10 1903 and later
Touch ID on MacBook
Fingerprint on Android 7.0+
Note
Setting up TFA is a one-time, mandatory step after first signing in to the Acquia ID-supported product user interface if you need to access a TFA-enabled application. However, Acquia recommends enabling TFA to enhance your account’s security, even if you do not require access to a TFA-enabled application.
If you have already set up TFA once but want to modify the settings, you can update the configuration through your Acquia profile. For more information, visit Modifying TFA settings.
You can set up a maximum of one mobile authenticator and 10 biometric or security authenticators through Acquia ID.
Click Sign in. The system displays the security methods that you can use to set up TFA for your account. If your organization owner or administrator has mandated that you set up TFA, you must configure at least one TFA option. However, you can optionally set up additional TFA methods.
Click Set up for one of the following options:
Launch your mobile authentication application and scan the QR code. Alternatively, if you are unable to scan the QR code through your application, do the following:
Open the mobile authentication application on your phone or other device.
Signing in to any Acquia ID-supported product user interface
The sign-in experience for any Acquia ID-supported product is governed by it. For example, to sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface:
After you create a Cloud Platform subscription or get your Cloud Platform account created, access the Cloud Platform user interface through https://cloud.acquia.com/ or https://launchpad.acquia.com/. The system displays the following page, which is powered by Acquia ID:
Enter your credentials and click Sign in.
Based on the TFA method that you set up earlier, perform the necessary verification steps and log in.
If you log in through https://launchpad.acquia.com, access Cloud Platform, and click Launch. The system logs you in to Cloud Platform. You do not need to specify your credentials again. However, if you log in through https://cloud.acquia.com, the system displays the Cloud Platform user interface directly.
Unlocking account
Acquia ID provides enhanced security, alerting users when their accounts are targeted by malicious actors. If there are multiple failed login attempts, Acquia sends you email notifications to inform you about the suspicious activity. However, you can unlock your account. For example, to unlock your Cloud Platform account:
Note
You must have set up two-factor authentication already to unlock your account through the Authenticator option.
Resetting password

Click Send me an email. The system sends an email.
Locate the email and click Reset Password.
Specify your new password and confirm it.
