The public SSH key part will now be added to your login account on the ARCHER2 system.

### Configure TOTP passwords

Archer2 now uses one time passwords (TOTP) for multi-factor authentication (MFA). One time passwords are a
common security measure used by banking, cloud services and apps that create a changing time limited code to
verify your identity beyond a password and username.

To setup your MFA TOTP you will need an authenticator application on your phone or laptop. Follow the
[steps](https://epcced.github.io/safe-docs/safe-for-users/#how-to-turn-on-mfa-on-your-machine-account)
at the SAFE documentation, ensuring you create the code for your ``r config$sched$project`` project
account.

You will only be prompted at login for your TOTP code once a day.

### Log into ARCHER2

You should now be able to log into ARCHER2 by following the [login instructions in the ARCHER2 documentation](https://docs.archer2.ac.uk/user-guide/connecting/#ssh-clients).
