Logging in using Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enables a higher level of security when accessing JFrog applications. In addition to your credentials, you have to authenticate with a one-time password (OTP) generated by an additional authentication factor - the Google Authenticator application. This ensures that if a user's credentials have been compromised, the multi-factor authentication method prevents malicious users from gaining access to JFrog applications. To enable MFA in your JFrog subscription, see Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in MyJFrog.
