Self-enroll your third-party OTP device

If your company has enabled third-party OTP devices as the secondary authentication method in ​Akamai MFA​, you can enroll your mobile app authenticator in the service.
The third-party OTP devices are mobile apps such as Duo Mobile, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Okta Verify, or any other mobile app that generates TOTP (time-based one-time passcodes) after scanning the QR code.
To enroll and activate your third-party OTP device, you have to pair the mobile app on your trusted device with ​Akamai MFA​. Once enrolled, you can use passcodes to authenticate to your enterprise applications.

How to

  1. When you are redirected to ​Akamai MFA​, in the Set up Multi-factor Authentication
