[Juli-DR]

This article provides information on how to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for your Qlik Talend Cloud login when using Qlik Account to log in.

How can I set up Multi-Factor Authentication for my Qlik Talend Cloud Account for Qlik ID login?

Qlik Talend Cloud has been migrated to a unified Qlik Account login. Since then, multi-factor authentication can be enabled as described in How to Setup Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Qlik Sense Business. 

These steps are specific for Qlik Account only. If you already have an SSO provider set up (not Qlik Account), Multi-Factor authentication must be configured on the third party provider (see Configuring single sign-on (SSO) for Talend Cloud).

1. Install a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, LastPassAuthenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or similar.

   Using only a QR reader will not work. An MFA Authenitcator app is required.

2. Go to your Qlik ID portal and log in with your Qlik ID
3. Navigate to the Password & Security settings (link)
4. Follow the instructions for setting up MFA as documented in How to Setup Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Qlik Sense Business.
   1. In Password & Security, scroll to Multi-Factor Authentication and click Setup
   2. Scan the QR code with your Authenticator app
   3. Follow the onscreen instructions in your Authenticator app to complete the setup
   4. Save the provided Recovery Code.

      This code is mandatory in case you need to recover your account. A new one will be generated after use; always save the most recent one.

   5. Multi-Factor Authentication is now enabled.
