Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
| Users who sign in with SSO can’t use Capella’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution. Instead, they use the configured identity provider’s MFA. |
| To enable MFA for your Capella account, you need: 1Password, Authy, LastPass Authenticator, or Microsoft Authenticator. |
Each user account in Capella can choose to turn MFA on or off.
-
Navigate to the Multi-Factor Authentication profile page:
-
Click your profile in the upper right corner of the Capella UI.
-
Click Your profile.
-
In the navigation menu, click MFA.

-
Turn on MFA:
-
Click Enable MFA
-
Scan the provided QR code with the MFA app on your device.
It then shows a six-digit verification code.
-
Enter the six-digit verification code into Capella.
Capella activates multi-factor authentication for your account. You now need to use your MFA app to generate a TOTP when signing in to the Capella UI.
