Setting Up 2 Factor Authentication on your GCA Community Forum Account

We all know it’s important to keep our online accounts as secure as possible and so we have 2FA as an optional security feature on the Community Forum.

To activate this:

  • Go to your Profile (top right) and click on Preferences
  • Under 2 Factor Authentication Click Manage Two Factor Authentication
  • Click on New Authenticator (token based) then scan the QR code or click enter manually and insert the code into your 2 FA application. (Alternatively register your security key if you have one).
  • If you do not currently have 2FA on any of your accounts review our ‘Prevent Phishing and Viruses’ Toolbox within the GCA Cybersecurity Toolkit for help with this. Beyond Simple Passwords - GCA Cybersecurity Toolkit | Tools and Resources to Improve Your Cyber Defenses
    If you have any questions we’d be pleased to help.

This is a great video from The City of London Police Cyber Griffin team which talks more about the importance of 2FA/MFA.
