Creating Your Account

Once you have an invitation code, you can proceed with the registration.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Securing Your Account

For enhanced security, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a verification code in addition to your password when logging in.

Setting Up 2FA

1. Access your account settings

   • Log in to your Kontext Platform account
   • Navigate to the 2FA settings page

2. Enable two-factor authentication

   • Follow the setup instructions on the 2FA settings page
   • You’ll need an authenticator app on your mobile device (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator)
   • Scan the QR code with your authenticator app
   • Enter the verification code to complete setup

3. Save backup codes

   • After enabling 2FA, make sure to save your recovery codes
   • Store them in a secure location
   • These codes can be used if you lose access to your authenticator app

After successful setup, the 2FA page looks like the following screenshot:

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Coming Soon

Contact your system administrator for information about SSO availability in your organization.
