Add a security key

A security key, such as a YubiKey, is a small device you plug in or tap to prove it's you. In Softalon, a security key is a second step after you sign in. It doesn't replace your password, login code or provider sign-in.

   Step 1 of 4

   Open Security Keys

   Go to Account › Security. In the MFA card, find Security Keys.

   • If you have no keys yet, click Setup.
   • If you already have keys, click Add Key.

   If you signed in more than 15 minutes ago, Softalon first asks you to confirm it's you.

   Step 2 of 4

   Name the key

   In Add Security Key, type a name in Key Name, for example "Work YubiKey". The name helps you tell your keys apart later.

   Step 3 of 4

   Select the key

   Click the Security Key area that says Click to select your security key. Insert your key and touch it when your browser asks.

   When the browser accepts the key, the area shows Security Key Selected. To use a different key, click the area again.

   Step 4 of 4

   Save

   Click Add Security Key.

   You will see:

   Security Keys shows the number of keys in brackets, and your new key appears in the list below it.

Remove a security key

Go to Account › Security › MFA. In the list under Security Keys, click Remove next to the key you no longer use. Remove a key right away if you lose it.

Signing in

When you sign in, the Verify Your Identity screen shows a Security Key tab next to Authenticator App (TOTP) if you have both. Keep your authenticator app and recovery codes ready as a backup.
