Reset two-factor and regenerate backup codes (account admin only)

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides additional security by requiring admins and staff to present two proofs of identity before they can login to Comodo One / Dragon.
     
  • They need to enter their regular UN/PW + a unique code sent to their mobile device.
     
    • See this page in the Comodo One / Dragon help guide for help to setup two factor authentication in Comodo One / Dragon
       
  • The account admin can reset their 2FA at any time from the settings interface. You may want to do this if you want to pair a new device for authentication.
     
    • This applies only to the account admin.
       
    • You can reset 2FA for others by clicking 'Management' > 'Staff' > select a staff member > 'Reset Two-Factor Authentication'. See this page if you need help with this.

Reset your two factor authentication

  • Click the user icon at top-right then click 'Settings'
     
  • Locate the 'Two Factor Authentication' tile. This tile is only available if two-factor is already enabled.

  • Click the 'Reset Configuration' button
     
  • Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog

You will be prompted to repeat the two-factor authentication process at next login.

  • Click 'View Backup Codes' to see your unused backup codes:


 

Keep a copy of the backup codes so you can login to Comodo One / Dragon when you don't have access to your authentication device.
