The MFA-secured login to all WEM applications and portals
The WEM Login Portal is used as Single Sign On into multiple WEM-related applications:
WEM Modeler
MyWEM
WEM Forum
WEM Academy
Partner Portal
DevOps Portal
After you sign in with your username and password, you will be asked to do the Multi Factor Authentication - based on the settings you have chosen and actived.
The MFA options all use a Time-based One-Time Passcode (TOTP) with 6 digits. The Authenticator App has preference, because it does not rely on sending and receiving codes but does a specific calculation with a secret key. It is the quickest and most secure option. Both Email and SMS messages can be delayed (or not received if connections are not working or spam-filters are blocking) and can be intercepted or otherwise be recieved by other parties.
After successful login, you will be either forwarded to the Application you started (from the list mentioned above), or if you accessed the Login Portal itself, you get options to go to an application or to manage your MFA settings:
You can setup 3 options:
Authenticator App (Google, Microsoft) as preferred option.
Email (can be different from your WEM login account email - just make sure it is a correct email that you have access to).
SMS (mobile number, however not all countries are supported).
We advise to setup at least 2 options, preferably Authenticator App and Email. This way, you can choose your MFA option when logging in, to make sure you can access the WEM Platform in case one of the options is not available for some reason.
