Setting up one-time password protection

Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal provides the ability to use one-time passwords instead of certificates for authentication, if allowed by your organization.

To use one-time passwords, you have to set up two-factor verification via an authenticator app that supports the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm (for example Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator). One-time passwords are generated locally on your device with no need for an internet or mobile network.

We recommend that you also set up an authenticator app on a device other than your mobile phone. This will allow you to sign in to your Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal account if your mobile phone is ever lost or stolen.

To set up two-factor verification via your authenticator app:

  1. Download and install an authenticator app on your device.
  2. Contact your Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal administrator and request a QR code to set up the two-factor verification.

    Your administrator will provide the QR code via a PGP™-encrypted email or as a password-protected .zip archive. In this case, the archive and password are provided via separate secure channels (for example, the archive is sent via email and its password via SMS message).

  3. Add your Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal account to your authenticator app by scanning the provided QR code. Please follow your in-app instructions for more information.

Your authentication app is set up. You can now use one-time passwords generated in the app on the Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal sign-in page.
