Login & 2FA

Login

You can log into Monolith using your account email and password.

2-Factor Authentication

By default, all cloud users are required to use 2-Factor Authentication to login to their Monolith accounts. Monolith utilizes TOTP based 2FA, which means that users must have an authenticator application to use 2FA with Monolith. The following authenticator apps are recommended:

  • Google Authenticator

  • Microsoft Authenticator

On you first login to Monolith, you will be prompted to setup 2FA with the authenticator app of your choice. Open the authenticator app and scan the QR code presented by Monolith:

Once you have scanned the QR code, type in the 6-digit code generated by the authenticator app into the box at the Monolith Login screen.

For subsequent logins, you will be presented with a 2FA screen and asked to enter a 6-digit code generated by you authenticator application of choice.

2FA Reset

If you have lost your 2FA device or replaced it, a Monolith admin user can reset the 2FA device on your account. Once reset, Monolith will prompt you to connect a new 2FA device at your next login.

Disable 2FA

For cloud customers, you can request that 2FA be disabled for your account - please make a request to support@monolithforesics.com.

For on-premises customers, you can disable 2FA from your user profile page.

2FA is a very important and standard security measure - we highly recommend you do not disable this feature.
