How to Setup Two-Factor Authentication for Your Own Account
Two-step verification works with products and components that allow login via accounts.logme.in, our common login service. Certain legacy products and components do not meet this requirement.
Setup involves two main tasks.
- First, set up your primary method for receiving login codes (this will be LastPass Authenticator)
- Second, set up either text message or email as a backup method in case your primary is not available.
Let's take a closer look. This procedure describes setup using our own LastPass Authenticator. The procedure is similar for other popular authenticator apps.
After setup, the following is expected:
Tip: Guidance from PCI DSS v3.0
- LastPass Authenticator: Tap the on-screen notification to confirm your identity.
- Authenticator app other than LastPass Authenticator: Enter a one-time code that you get from the paired authenticator app.
- Text message: Enter the one-time code sent to the number.
- Primary method is unavailable: Request a code via your backup.
Two-step verification is a requirement in PCI DSS v3.0.
