6. Check the box Use Two-Factor Authentication to enable two-factor authentication for this user.

7. Select whether you want to utlize this user’s email address or click Use Custom Username to define their exact two-factor authentication username.

8. Click Save.

9. Repeat steps 4 – 8 for every member who you would like to require to use AuthAnvil authentication.

Step 3 – Log into N-central using your Two Factor Auth credentials

1. Log into N-central as you typically would, using your username and password. After primary authentication,you will be presented with the following screen:



Note: Users will need to enter a four digit pin here as well as the One Time Password.

For the Pin your users will use Pin: 1111

The actual Pin requirement is a holdover from the old on-prem configuration. AuthAnvil does not use the Pin; however, it respects the value being submitted.

2. Enter the current OTP on the user's AuthAnvil Authenticator.

3. Click Sign-In.
