Setting up two-factor authentication for a WebID user in the new service

In WebID, anyone can create their own WebID user. The first time you log in with the user, you will have to set up two-factor authentication.

The first time you log in with a WebID user in the new WebID service, you will be asked to set up two-factor authentication. To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the new WebID-service (will be opened in a new tab).
  2. Log in to your account by typing in the email address you registered the account with and your password.
  3. You will be taken to a page that asks you to set up a mobile authenticator. Follow the steps provided on the page. You may choose to use Google Authenticator, FreeOTP or Microsoft Authenticator. 
  4. After you have entered the one-time code in the screenshot above and pressed "Submit", you will be redirected to the "Personal info" page. You are now logged in with your WebID user.
  5. The next time you log in with your WebID user, you will be asked to provide a one-time code. You will find this code in your mobile authenticator app. If you have configured more than one two-factor in the same app, make sure to use the one-time code corresponding to WebID.
