To increase security, an optional two-factor authentication (2FA) is now available for My Workplace 2.0. This means that you need a one-time password (OTP) in addition to your e-mail address and a password to log in to your My Workplace 2.0 environment. It is generated by a smartphone app or a hardware token and is only valid for a few seconds at a time. The procedure is well known from e-banking and many cloud services and makes it considerably more difficult for attackers to access your data.
Two-factor authentication requires the additional input of a one-time password
2FA is optionally available and can only be activated globally for the entire company. This ensures that no individual users without 2FA remain as a potential target point and lower the protection level.
The Google Authenticator App for generating the one-time password that is valid for only a few seconds
Technologically, the 2FA solution is directly integrated into the Citrix portal. For OTP generation, users can either use an Authenticator app such as Google Authenticator (Apple App Store / Google Play Store) or obtain a hardware token from us. Instructions on how to activate 2FA are available in our Knowledge Base (German only).
