2FA or Two Factor Authentication is the industry standard when it comes to securing your accounts. During the log-in process, a temporary 6-digit token, with a life of 30 seconds, is generated and then entered - granting you access to your account.
​
Where do these 6 digit tokens come from? This is where the secret key comes in.

The secret key, as the name suggests, is a secret code that is known to the log-in service and the user - you. The secret key, when entered into an algorithm, generates a 6 digit token. The most common way this happens is by using a Authentication App, where all your tokens are generated. You usually enter you secret keys via a QR code.

Using the same secret key, both the user and the server generate a token. If they match, that's a successful log-in.

Some authentication apps, like 2FAS Auth, allow you to view the secret key of a specific entry by long pressing and pressing "edit". If your app does not have this functionality, then you'll need to go back to your service and generate a new code.

This is generally the same on most platforms - let's use Salesforce as an example. When you are prompted to scan the QR code, click "I can't Scan the QR Code" to get your secret key.

You'll find instructions for using Fugo with your chosen dashboard service in our TV Dashboards collection. Each guide will have instructions on how to get the secret key.

Fugo can be used to access just about any dashboard, report, or URL living behind a secure login, but here are some popular services customers use with Fugo and links to our set up documentation:
