Two-factor Authentication (2FA)

Supported 2FA Apps:

Enabling 2FA
IMPORTANT! Before beginning, understand that while 2FA is active, users will not be able to login or use any of the unsupported 2FA legacy apps. If there is a need after activation, 2FA can always be disabled.
- Select the Disabled toggle button to enable 2FA. This will send a verification email to the email address associated with the account currently signed into SCM.
- Copy the 6 digit Verification Code from the email inbox and paste into the SCM pop-up window, then select Verify.
