    • Define the authenticator and token length that acts as an enabler for the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) authentication in RPA Hub so that the unattended robots can seamlessly authenticate against multi-factor authentication (MFA)-enabled applications.

    Avant de commencer

    Familiarize yourself with multi-factor authentication (MFA) concepts. For more information, see Multi-factor authentication.

    Familiarize yourself with the TOTP authentication in RPA Hub. For more information, see TOTP authentication in RPA Hub.

    You must do this task in the classic environment.

    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    An authenticator application is a third-party software that generates temporary passcodes. Users can use these passcodes along with their password to log in to an instance that requires multi-factor authentication (MFA). For example, the following applications support Time-based One-time Passwords (TOTP):
    • Google Authenticator
    • Microsoft Authenticator
    • Okta Verify
    For more detail on these applications, see Authenticator Applications.

    The MFA authenticator record acts as an input to the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) authenticator.

    After you create an MFA authenticator record, all the fields are read-only.

    You can't edit an MFA authenticator record. If changes are required to an existing MFA record, you must retire an existing record and then create an MFA authenticator record.
