Enabling Two-Factor Authentication for your Absolute account

You can add an extra layer of security to your Absolute account by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). When 2FA is enabled, all users need to enter a six digit verification code in addition to a username and password when they log in to the Secure Endpoint Console. Users can generate verification codes by installing a 2FA app on their mobile device, such as a smartphone, and configuring their Absolute user account on the app.

Absolute supports 2FA using the following apps:

  • Google Authenticator ™
  • Duo Mobile

    The Push feature is not supported.

  • Microsoft Authenticator

Absolute has tested and validated 2FA on iOS and Android devices using the applications listed above. If you prefer to use another 2FA application, you should be able to use any app that supports time based one time passwords (TOTP).
