Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a common way to secure accounts by adding an additional layer of security. Your data and your account are protected even when your password is compromised as you must also have access to the physical device (e.g., phone, computer) that you used to setup your account. MFA is a key piece of any enterprise-grade security plan - you can learn more about this practice from leading security organizations like Okta and Duo.
Enrollment Guide
QuantAQ's self-enrollment process makes it easy to register your phone, computer, or tablet as a second layer of protection.
Enrolling Your Phone or Tablet
QuantAQ prompts you to enroll post login. If you would like, you can bypass enrollment by clicking Setup MFA Later, though enrolling will be mandatory by December 1st, 2023.

If you don't have access to - or prefer not to use - a smartphone, there are browser-based extensions such as Authenticator that allow you to use your browser as your second form of authentication. Prior to enrolling your device, you will need to follow the instructions provided by the authentication extension of your choice to install the extension in your browser.
