Set up an authenticator app for multi-factor authentication

How to set up an authenticator app to use when logging into Landonline.

You'll be asked to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) when you log into Landonline with your user ID and password for the first time.

You can install an authenticator app on your mobile or tablet to authenticate your log in. You’ll receive one-time codes in this app to allow you to log into Landonline.

1: Select Add an authenticator app.

When you log into Landonline for the first time an MFA registration screen pops up.

On the MFA screen, select Add an authenticator app (recommended).

You'll be taken to a QR code to scan with your authenticator app. Go to step 3 if you already have a Microsoft or Google authenticator app installed on your device.

2: Go to the app store and install an authenticator app.

Go to the app store on your phone or tablet and choose the Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator. It's free to install these apps.

3: Open your authenticator app and scan our QR code.

Open your authenticator app on your phone or tablet and scan the QR code on your screen. Do not use your camera to scan the QR code - it won't work.

We recommend you set up another option to authenticate your log in, in case your option is not available.

Authenticate once a day only

Once you've registered your MFA option, you won't need to reauthenticate yourself until the next day.

When you log in for the first time each day, you'll enter your Landonline user ID and password, followed by a one-time code generated from your chosen MFA option. 

You should only be asked for a one-time code the first time you log in, per day, per device or browser.
