- Acceso/Autenticación a servicios institucionales
Some UNIA applications require a two-factor authentication (single-use code). This is a security measure to access UNIA services, adding a second layer of protection.
To activate the two-factor authentication, you will need a mobile device or a PC/laptop to install an MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) application.
Once the application is installed, you should keep it installed to use it whenever the two-factor is required to access any UNIA platform.
The steps to activate the two-factor are as follows:
For a proper setup, first, we need to access https://outlook.com, log in with our institutional email account, and password.
The first time we log in, we must activate the two-factor. After entering our email and password, the following window will appear:
We click on 'Next,' and the following message will appear on the screen:
At this point, we must choose the tool we want to use to manage the two-factor authentication.
Let's examine each case in detail:
1. Download the Microsoft Authenticator mobile application on Android. On iOS, the process is exactly the same as on Android, with the only difference being that instead of accessing Google Play for installation, we use the App Store.
2. Search for Microsoft Authenticator on your device and install it.
3. Once installed on your mobile device, click 'Next' on the screen shown above.
4. A new screen appears; click 'Next' to view the QR code.
5. Next, scan the QR code with the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Open Microsoft Authenticator, add a personal or educational account.
6. Click on "Scan a QR code" and authorize the use of the camera.
7. After scanning the QR code, the process is complete, and your account is configured.
8. Once the account is configured, when using a UNIA service with MFA, a code will be displayed, which you must enter in Microsoft Authenticator.
Now open the app on your mobile and enter the number:
9. After these steps, your account will be configured correctly.
1. Download the Google Authenticator mobile application on Android. On iOS, the process is exactly the same as on Android, except instead of accessing Google Play for installation, we use the App Store.

5. On the next screen, click "Next".
6. Now open the Google Authenticator app and scan the QR code that appears.
7. Google Authenticator will create a UNIA account and generate a 6-digit code.
8. Click "Next" in the previous image, and it will ask for the generated code.
9. After this, you have access to UNIA services.
1. Install the desktop application '2fast' (requires Windows 10 v17763.0 or higher).
2. Go to Microsoft Store and obtain the application.
3. Once installed, open the application and click on 'Create new data file (first start).' The first time requires creating a file to save the configuration.
4. Choose local path.
5. Select the folder to save your configuration.
6.Assign any identifier (e.g., MFA-UNIA) and a password that will be requested each time you run the program, then click 'CREATE DATA FILE'.
7. Create an account (Add account).
8. It provides 3 options, select 'Scan key-QR-code.' Before pressing Scan Key-QR-code, navigate to the Outlook page where the configuration is requested.
On the page that appears, select 'I want to use a different authentication method' and click Next.
10. On the screen that follows, click "Next".
11. The screen with the code to be scanned will appear. Go back to the 2Fast application.
12. Open the 2Fast application and click on 'Scan key-QR-code'.

14. Maximize 2Fast and click on 'Create account,' completing the account setup.
15. Return to Outlook and click 'Next'.
16. Here, enter the code generated by 2Fast (changing every 30 seconds) and click 'Next'.

15. Click on 'Authenticator'.
16.The first time we use the extension, we have to create an account. To do this, click on 'Scan a QR code'.
17. Scan the code, and you have completed the two-factor configuration.
18.The only thing you need to do is enter the code that appears in the extension.
You can find the code requested by opening the extension:
