Setting up two-factor authentication

To view and manage security solutions, such as Lumen^® Adaptive Network Security and Lumen^® DDoS Hyper®, you need to sign in with two-factor authentication. To use two-factor authentication (2FA), you must first install an authentication app and set up your two-factor authentication.

1. Download an authenticator app (such as Twilio Authy or Microsoft Authenticator) and follow the vendor's instructions to install it on your desktop or mobile device.
   

1. Do one of the following to set up the authenticator app for Control Center:
   
   
   • If you installed the authenticator app on your mobile device, scan the QR code.
     
     
   • If you installed the authenticator app on your desktop, click the link below the QR code, copy the secret key, then paste it in the authenticator app.
     
     

 The authenticator app generates a one-time, six-digit code every 30 seconds.

1. Type or copy the one-time code from the authenticator app into the Verification Code field, then click CONTINUE.
   
   Control Center signs you in and shows the homepage.
