BlazeMeter supports two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an additional layer of security for user logins. There are two ways to add it to a user account:
- You will be prompted to setup 2FA when creating a new account or resetting your password.
- For existing accounts, the option to setup 2FA may be found within Personal Settings.
Setup is easy!
Install a Supported Authenticator App
Two-factor authentication relies on receiving a temporary security code from an authenticator application installed on another machine (typically a mobile device). BlazeMeter supports the following authenticator apps:
- FreeOTP
- Google Authenticator
Once you have installed and configured the app on your device, you're ready to setup 2FA.
Configure BlazeMeter 2FA
While creating a new account or resetting your password, you'll be prompted to setup 2FA; otherwise, you can set it up via these steps:
- Navigate to your Personal Settings by clicking your name in the upper-left corner of the UI, then clicking "Personal Settings".
- On the next screen, in the left-hand menu, click "Authenticator".
- As instructed on-screen, open your authenticator app, then scan the provided barcode.
- After scanning the barcode successfully, the authenticator app will provide you with a one-time security code. Enter it in the "One-time code" field.
- Click the Save button.
Your newly configured authenticator will now be listed.
Remove BlazeMeter 2FA
If you need to disable two-factor authentication, simply follow these steps:
- Navigate to your Personal Settings by clicking your name in the upper-left corner of the UI, then clicking "Personal Settings".
- On the next screen, in the left-hand menu, click "Authenticator".
- Click the trash bin icon to delete your 2FA configuration.
