If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it.

Perform the following steps to update your password:

2. On the **My Profile** page, select **CHANGE PASSWORD** to create a new password.
  1. **Current password**: Enter your current password.
  2. **New password**: Enter a new password.
  3. **New password (again)**: Re-enter the new password.
  4. Click **CHANGE PASSWORD** to update your password.

The new password will only be accepted if it meets all security requirements, including a minimum length of twelve characters.

*For more information on password requirements for Fortanix Armor SaaS user accounts, refer to*[*Getting Started with Fortanix Armor*](https://support.fortanix.com/docs/fortanix-armor-getting-started#21-fortanix-armor-saas-password-policy)*.*

### 2.3 Configure Two-factor Authentication (2FA) at User Level

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), specifically Two-factor Authentication (2FA), can be configured at both the user and account levels in Fortanix Armor.

*For more information on setting 2FA at the account level, refer to*[*Fortanix Armor Identity and Access Management (IAM)*](https://support.fortanix.com/docs/fortanix-armor-identity-and-access-management-iam)*.*

When 2FA is enabled for a specific user, that user will be required to set up 2FA before logging into their account.

Ensure the following before configuring the 2FA at the user level:

- You are a Fortanix Armor user
- 2FA is currently supported using the FIDO2/WebAuthn standard, which is supported by devices such as YubiKey. This also works for FIDO U2F authenticators since FIDO2/WebAuthn is backward compatible with them.

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> - Your device must support FIDO2/WebAuthn to use 2FA.
>   - Fortanix Armor uses FIDO2/WebAuthn for the 2FA requirements.
>   - Fortanix Armor supports FIDO2 devices that provide either `packed` or `fido-u2f` attestation. *See “Defined Attestation Statement Formats” section in*[*https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2*](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2)*for more details*.

After users are authenticated using a password, an additional layer of security can be added by enabling 2FA through a device that supports U2F or FIDO2/WebAuthn.

Fortanix Armor supports security keys for 2FA, leveraging FIDO2/WebAuthn-compatible devices (for example, YubiKey).

Perform the following steps to enable 2FA at the user level:

1. Select **Profile.**
2. On the **My Profile** page, select **Enable** for **Two-step Authentication.**The 2FA is disabled by default.
3. On the **Two-step Authentication**dialog box, enter the profile password.
4. Click **NEXT**.
5. Select where you want to register your security key based on your operating system:

**Linux:**

Perform the following steps:

**Windows:**
