In order to activate the 2FA you need to authenticate on our new Identity Provider at https://sso.hpc.cineca.it using username and password you use to connect to CINECA clusters.
At the first login you will be forced to verify your email, change the password and configure your One-Time Passwrd (hereafter OTP) code that will be requested in addition to the password when loggin into our clusters (where 2FA has been forced as the only way to access).

It can be used either FreeOTP or Google Authenticator or any other App to generate authentication codes. If you don't have already it, you need to download one of them on your smartphone.
Once installed, you can use it to scan the QR code shown in the above page and the OTP will be automatically configured on your authenticator.
As a final step, you will be asked to insert the 6 digits code that appears on the App to verify the correct configuration.
If you have multiple OTP defined in the App, the correct one has the name "CINECA HPC: <your username>".
Once verified the correct configuration the following page will show you the Recovery codes.
Please save these codes somewhere by downloading, printing or copying in a text file.
These codes are requested to the user in case of problems in the OTP configuration (issue with the app or smartphone lost) so they are very important.
In the final page you will be asked to update your profile by inserting Name and Surname
