[New] How to log in when Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled

Updated this week

This article explains the features of the new LegalOn. For information on the current version’s product features, please refer to this page.

Before you begin

To use MFA, prepare the following in advance:

1. Prepare a device

Prepare the device you will use for authentication (such as a smartphone). You must have this device with you at the time of login and be able to use your authentication app.

2. Install an Authentication app

Install an authentication app on your device. Common examples include:

Register with the Authentication app and Log In

  1. Log in as usual by entering your email address and password.

  2. When the One-Time Password Input screen appears, launch your authentication app and scan the QR code displayed.

  3. Enter the one-time password generated by the app, then click Continue.

Once you complete your first login, the account will be added to your authentication app.

From the Second Login Onward

After entering your email address and password, you will see the MFA screen. Open the authentication app on your device and enter the current one-time password to complete the login.

💡 Info

If you cannot scan the QR code, click Having trouble scanning? to obtain a setup key. You can manually enter this key into your authentication app to add your account.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot log in with your one-time password:

Try the following steps in order:

  1. Re-enter the latest one-time password
    The password may have expired. Wait for it to refresh and try again.

  2. Restart the authentication app
    The app may not be functioning properly. Close it completely and restart it before trying again.

  3. Reset your MFA settings
    If the issue persists, ask your IT admin to reset your MFA settings. Then follow the registration steps again to re-add your account to your authentication app.
