Two-Factor Authentication & Security

This feature is available to All Users (Learners and Administrators).

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your IngenuitiLMS account by requiring a time-based verification code from your mobile authenticator app whenever you log in.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

  1. Navigate to Profile > Security (or Two-Factor Authentication).
  2. For security, confirm your current LMS password when prompted.
  3. Open your preferred authenticator app on your smartphone (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy).
  4. Scan the QR code displayed on the LMS screen (or manually enter the provided setup key).
  5. Enter the 6-digit numeric verification code shown in your authenticator app and click Enable.

Managing Recovery Codes

When 2FA is enabled, the system generates a set of single-use Recovery Backup Codes:

  • Store these codes in a secure location (e.g., a password manager).
  • If you lose access to your mobile phone or authenticator app, you can enter any unused recovery code on the login screen to access your account.
  • You can click Regenerate Recovery Codes in your security settings at any time. Generating new codes immediately invalidates all previous backup codes.

Disabling 2FA

You can disable Two-Factor Authentication at any time from your security settings by confirming your password and clicking Disable Two-Factor Authentication.
