Enable two-factor authentication for OpenVPN Cloud users

Sign Up For OpenVPN Cloud

Overview

Administrators can enable two-factor authentication for their users to add an additional layer of identity verification. Once two-factor authentication is enabled, an authenticator application must be used to provide an authentication code at sign in. The authentication check is performed whenever the user attempts to:

  1. Sign in to the user portal.
  2. Sign in with the OpenVPN Connect app to add a connection profile.
  3. Establish a VPN connection using the Connect app.
