Account security settings Admin

The settings section offers essential security features, such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), to help safeguard your account and enhance your overall security. MFA adds an extra layer of protection that goes beyond just a password, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

To enhance the security of administrator accounts, DrillBit has implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Enabling MFA is a simple step that greatly strengthens your account's security.

Steps to enable MFA

  1. Log in to DrillBit as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to the Settings section on the left sidebar of the application.
  3. In the Multi-Factor Authentication section, you will see the option to enable MFA.
  4. Toggle the switch to enable MFA.
  5. A pop-up window appears: “Are you sure you want to activate Multi-Factor Authentication?” — select Yes to confirm.

Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA), also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or two-step verification, is a security process that requires users to provide multiple forms of identification before they can access an account, system, or application.

Step by step

Enable MFA

Toggle MFA on, confirm activation. On next login, enter the OTP sent to your email.

Login process after MFA is enabled

After MFA is enabled, administrators first enter their password when logging in. Following successful password entry, an OTP is sent from DrillBit to the administrator's registered email address. The administrator must then enter this OTP on the login page to complete authentication.

Disabling MFA: Toggle the switch off in the same settings section. A confirmation pop-up appears: “Are you sure you want to deactivate Multi-Factor Authentication?” — select Yes to confirm.
Important: Ensure your registered email address is correct to avoid issues with receiving OTPs. After 3 consecutive incorrect attempts to enter the OTP, you'll need to log in again and request a new OTP.
