How to use multi-factor authentication

With multi-factor authentication enabled, you will automatically be required to use a verification code, when you log in to the project. This only needs to be done ONCE per login session.

This section will show you how to log in with multi-factor authentication on both Dalux Desktop and Mobile:

Desktop Mobile

Project without MFA
If you were last logged into a project without MFA, you will be logged in as usual. Log in like normal by entering your account email and password. 

Project with MFA
If you were last logged into a project that now has MFA enabled, you will be asked to verify your identity (This is also true when you change from a project without to a project with MFA).
You will be sent an email with a 2-digit recognition number and a 6-digit verification code. Copy the 6-digit part into the request field and make sure that the recognition number matches:
