Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication for Your CaFÉ Account

By setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), you add an extra layer of security to your CaFÉ account. When MFA is enabled, you log in by first entering your password and, when prompted, you also type a dynamically generated verification code provided by email or an authenticator app of your choice.

How to Set Up MFA - Email Option

Step 3: An email will be sent to the email address associated with your account with the log-in code. The email will come from contactcafe@callforentry.org.

Step 4: Enter the code from your email into the MFA code field and click submit.

Step 5: Once the code has been entered successfully, you will see a confirmation page with a recovery code. Save the recovery code to bypass the authenticator if you are not able to access your original authentication method.

Step 5: A code will pop up on your authenticator app. Enter it in the field labeled “Authentication Code” and click submit.

Note: have the app ready as the code expires quickly. The code will automatically regenerate, so if you miss the first one you can enter the second one without logging in again.

Step 6: Once the code has been entered, you will see a confirmation page with a recovery code. Save the recovery code to bypass the authenticator if you are not able to access your original authentication method.

How to Log In Using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Step 1: Log in to admin.callforentry.org with your username and password.

Step 2: When prompted, enter the MFA code that was sent to your email or authenticator app. Note: Select “Remember this device?” if logging in from a trusted device (such as a computer or browser that only you use). It will then only prompt you to enter your MFA code on the same device every 90 days.

Step 3:  Select “Remember this device?” if logging in from a trusted device (such as a computer or browser that only you use). It will then only prompt you to enter your MFA code on the same device every 90 days.

Note: You can remember one CaFÉ account (such as your administrator or juror account) per device. We suggest you select “Remember this device?” for the account you use more frequently.
