Overview

Two-factor authentication (or 2FA) provides additional security steps to prevent unauthorized access to Getac Enterprise by requiring something you know (password) as well as enrolling a computer with the Station. When enabled, Users will receive an email with a link to enroll the device that they are using to log into their Station.

Enable 2FA

To enable this feature, perform the following steps:

Enable Two-Factor Authentication from the Station Groups page.
Enable Device Enrollment in the Password Rules for the specific Station under Setup > System Settings > Password Rules.
1. Set the Device Expiry Days parameter to the number of days before being required to repeat the Device Enrollment process, e.g. 7 for one week.

Once complete, Users will be shown the following screen when logging into Getac Enterprise:

Upon receipt of the email, a link will be provided that will enroll the computer that is being used to log in to that Station in Getac Enterprise.

Note:

Subsequent logins will not require this extra step, dependent on the time (in days) specified in the Device Expiry Days parameter in the Password Rules.

Manage Enrolled Devices

To view and manage the list of enrolled devices, follow the steps in Device Enrollment.
