Enable MFA in Amvara GitLab account

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a crucial feature to bolster the security of your Amvara GitLab account. By implementing 2FA, an additional layer of protection is added, ensuring that unauthorized access is significantly more challenging. To access your Amvara GitLab account, potential intruders would need not only your username and password but also the second factor of authentication.

Amvara GitLab supports the One-Time Password (OTP) method as a second factor of authentication:

Click Amvara GitLab link to create or login to your account.

Steps to setup 2FA

Step 1: Login to your Amvara GitLab account

Step 2: Click "Profile Icon" > "Preferences"


Step 3: Click "Account"


Step 4: Click "Enable Two Factor Authentication"


Step 5: Enter "YOUR_CURRENT_PASSWORD" and "VERIFICATION_CODE", then click "Register with two-factor app". Next get your first verification code to setup MFA

Note: Do not use this step if you are going to use secret key for automation using Cometa. Instead, use the Get verification code . After that complete Step 6.

Setup your authenticator app

  • Scan the displayed QR code with any authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator etc
  • You will see your GitLab account listed in the authenticator app.
  • Now, in the authenticator app, navigate to your account and retrieve the OTP.



Step 6: Click 'Download Codes' and store them in a secure location. This will complete your MFA setup successfully
