Logging into PANTHEON using multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) or Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to PANTHEON only after successfully presenting more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism.

Warning Tokens can be sent to users only if eMessaging service is activated and a sufficient quantity of messages is avaliable within the package. You can order eMessaging service on our User Site. Additional information about the service can be found on Datalab's website.
