The Authenticator screen in the Keycloak Account Management subsystem of axe Auditor can be used to generate a One-Time Password (OTP) for the purpose of fulfilling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) requirements at your organization.

Your System Administrator can configure the system to require a Configure OTP action from each user. If this is the case with your organization, you will be prompted to set up a mobile password generator after signing in to the axe Auditor application. For related information, see the System Administration topic later in this guide.

Overview

The Authenticator screen is accessed via the Authenticator option in the left menu.
