Choose your MFA method. You may choose

  • using an authenticator app on your smartphone
  • using an SMS on your mobile phone
  • using a hardware token
  1. We recommend Microsoft Authenticator if it is available in your region and on your smartphone/device if you have one.  Download (from your smartphone/device) and install it if you don’t already have it.  It makes for the easiest MFA login experience.

  2. Alternative MFA tools are Authy or Google Authenticator, and there may be other options in your region

    (Please let us know so we can add them to our documentation!)

  3. If you don’t have access to a Smartphone, and SMS service is better in your area than 3G/4G/5G coverage, then you can receive MFA codes via SMS.  Click “I want to set up a different method”. 

    Note that there is a small cost to the WMDA to use SMS for MFA, so please use this option only if necessary.

  4. If you are not allowed to use a smartphone you may use a hardware token that supports TOTP.

    titleRead more ....

    These devices work normally independently from a PC or Phone, or sometimes they use a companion app. We recommend only to use only certified tokens, eg . from https://token2.eu

    Tokens should minimally support TOTP, this is a single use six digit code that is uniquely bound to your account and changes every 30 seconds.

    Examples of hardware tokens :




    Token2 Molto : You program this device with either a mobile phone that has NFC, or via USB, depending on the model.
    Depending on model it may allow to store keys for up to 10 accounts.

    Some tokens need a mobile phone with NFC and an companion app to generate the code. WMDA does not recommend these types and cannot support that. 

    WMDA tested tokens that are programmable over NFC and USB.

If you want to use another authentication app click the "I want to use a different authenticator app",


and then select "Authenticator app" from the drop down menu and follow the proceeding instructions.

Any authenticator app that is TOTP compliant will be valid to generate codes. Some well known are Google Authenticator, Authy, Aegis

For example : Google Authenticator 

Download the Google Authenticator app and open it up; click the multicoloured "+" and select "Scan a QR code".


 

The app will now ask for access to the phones camera to scan the QR code displayed on the webpage.

nameHardware token

Hardware tokens will need to be set up, either using NFC or USB. 

You need a helper application for that.

In short it works like this :

1) put the token in "programming mode"
2) approach the token to your phone, the burner app will start
3) select "add a profile" , and scan the QR code with your phone.
4) burn the code in the token

Due to the diversity of tokens you may want to ask assistance to your IT department.
A sample of a procedure of an NFC programmable token can be found here :

Please contact us if you have problems setting up your token.









9Check if the authenticator works

To ensure the MFA was set up correctly, the system will ask the user to verify the the authenticator with a verification code, which is displayed on the next page of the app.

Once all complete, you should be brought back to the original home page, and it should show your email in the top right.

Logging in

When logging in, after having set up the MFA, the user will be prompted to approve the login, either by entering the code from your authenticator, or tapping the "Approve" pop up in your application (when using Microsoft authenticator)

The Microsoft Authenticator app will show a notification like the one below -
