6.2. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication for security

To enhance cyber-security on the Partner Portal, Cisco uses two-
factor authentication (2FA).
2FA works by providing an extra security layer that works independently of
your Partner Portal login password. With 2FA activated, you will be asked
to provide a secure one-time password (OTP) for each login.
To set up two-factor authentication, do the following steps:
1. Install an app capable of generating authentication codes on your
mobile phone. Apps recommended for specific platforms are:
• Google Authenticator or Authy (iPhone, Android)
• Microsoft Authenticator (Windows Mobile)
2. Log into the
password.
3. Hover the mouse cursor over the Profile icon in the upper right-
hand corner of the web page
Account option.
