Multi-Factor Authentication

In order to protect your data, access to the zDirect Portal is secured with multi-factor authentication (MFA). After a one-time setup, you will be required to enter a security code each time you log in. Please note that developer users have to set up MFA to access zDirect.

The user can choose what type of 2nd factor authentication to use on their first login

  • Okta Verify: which is an authenticator app installed on your phone, used to prove your identity
  • Security Key: U2F keys including YubiKey and Google’s Titan Security Key
  • Biometric Authenticator: which lets you use a security key or biometric authentication/fingerprint to prove your identity such as Touch ID for Mac, Windows Hello (PIN for Windows computers, fingerprint or face recognition)

Setting Up MFA

The first time you log in to the zDirect Portal, you will be prompted to set up MFA after submitting your user name and password.

When prompted to do so, launch the mobile app and scan the barcode displayed on the zDirect Portal. This will create an MFA account in your mobile app called "zDirect Identity".

Your mobile app will then display a code. Enter the code in the setup webpage and click "Submit". If your mobile app shows a space in the code, do not include the space when you enter it.

Note that each code is only valid for a short time. As soon as your mobile app displays a new code, the old code is no longer be valid.

Using MFA to Log In

Every time you log in, you will be prompted to enter a one-time code after you enter your user email and password.
