Strengthening Your Security: Two-Factor Authentication Now Available on OctoPerf

In today's security-conscious world, relying on a password alone is no longer enough. With 2FA enabled, even if your password is compromised, the attacker would still need access to a second verification method (your authenticator app) to get in.

At OctoPerf we're committed to helping you safeguard your valuable test configurations, results, and reports - 2FA is an essential step in that mission.

Getting started: What you'll need

Before enabling 2FA, you'll need:

  • An authenticator app or browser extension capable of generating time-based one-time passwords. We recommend TOTP apps like:
  • Access to your OctoPerf account so you can navigate to your User Account → Password section to begin setup.

How to enable 2FA

Here's how to set up two-factor authentication on your account:

  1. In OctoPerf, go to your profile by clicking on the User Account button in the upper right menu:

  2. Open the Password section and locate the 2FA section.

  3. Click on the Enable Two-Factor Button, the following dialog is opened:

  4. Open your authenticator app and scan the displayed QR code.

    • If your app can't scan QR codes, copy and paste the displayed setup key manually instead.

  5. Enter the one-time password (OTP) generated by your authenticator app in the (3) TWO-FACTOR CODE VERIFICATION FIELD to verify and complete the setup.

  6. Click on Save. You will then receive recovery codes - print them or store them securely. These codes allow you to regain access if you lose access to your authenticator app.

    • Important: you will not be able to view these codes again later.

  7. From this moment on, each time you log in you'll provide your password and the code from your authenticator app (or a recovery code if needed).

What login looks like with 2FA enabled

With 2FA activated, your standard login flow becomes:

  1. Go to OctoPerf. Enter your username and password.

  2. If correct, you are then prompted to enter the code from your authenticator app.

  3. If you no longer have the authenticator app, select “Use recovery code” and enter one of the codes you previously saved.

Once those steps are completed, you're in - and your session is protected by that extra factor.

How to disable 2FA (if needed)

You can disable 2FA whenever you like, provided you're logged in. Here's how:

  1. Go to the same User Account → Password section, click on Disable Two-Factor.
  2. You'll be prompted to enter either an authenticator code or one of your recovery codes.
  3. After confirmation, 2FA will be disabled on your account.
