Dear Dassault Systèmes users,

As the global threat landscape evolves, Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) allows to prevent the most common attacks: if your password has been compromised, your account cannot be accessed unless having the 2nd factor. 

In this context, Dassault Systèmes strongly recommends that you activate Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for your 3DEXPERIENCE ID.

What is the Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application, online account, or a VPN

How does it work?

As a user, you can activate MFA by your own. Here is the practice

Step1 : login with your account to 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Step2 : Go in “my profile” section

Step3: Click on “Account” and “2-Factor Authentication”

Step4: Click on “Activate”

Step 5: Fill in the security questions

Then, QR code appears:

Step6: Download on your mobile device an Authentication App, open it, follow the steps  until you got the QR code scan ready

It can be Authy, Google Authenticator, 2FA – Authenticator, Authenticator, Duo Mobile,…

Here is what it looks like with Authenticator:

Step6: Copy the temporary code to the 2-Factor Authentication page

• You’re done. The 2-Factor Authentication is activated

Note that to avoid to enter the code each time you login, you have the capability to “trust” a machine
