Multi Factor Authentication in Our Cat Herder

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication on your Our Cat Herder account to add an extra layer of security that protects your account even if the password was shared or stolen.

What is MFA?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), sometimes known as Two Factor Authentication (2FA), is a security method that requires users to verify their identity with two or more independent factors (such as a password, a phone code, or a biometric), reducing the risk of unauthorised access and protecting accounts even if one factor is compromised.

Setting up MFA

Setup Guide

We highly recommend reading our full MFA setup guide download PDF before you begin MFA setup.

Our Cat Herder offers Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for all users for free. We highly recommend you enable MFA on your account, especially if it is an Admin account.

You can download PDF that will guide you through Our Cat Herder MFA setup here.

For trouble shooting MFA issues please see Common MFA Issues.

You can enable MFA on your Our Cat Herder account by clicking your name in the top menu and choosing "My Details".

In the middle of the My Details/Profile page you will see a button for turning on MFA on your account.

This will start a workflow to guide you through activating MFA on your account.

If you don't have a smart phone, tablet or other mobile device but still want to use MFA (or are having issues with the MFA app on your mobile device) you could try using the Desktop/Laptop app for the Authy Authenticator
