User Guide: First Login and MFA Setup on authentik

Follow these simple steps to log in for the first time, set your password, and configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for your account.


🔑 Step 1: Access the Authentication Portal

  1. Go to the authentication portal:

    https://login.eagleprojects.cloud

  2. On the login page, enter your username provided by the administrator.

  3. Click "Log in".

    ⚠️ Important: Do not enter a password yet. During your first login, you must reset your password first.


🔄 Step 2: Request a Password Reset

  1. On the login page, click "Forgot password?".

  1. Enter the email address associated with your account and click "Send reset link".

✉️ Note: You will receive an email containing a link to reset your password. If you cannot find it, check your Spam/Junk folder as well. The email may take up to approximately 2 minutes to arrive.


🔐 Step 3: Create a Good Password

  1. Open the password reset email and click "Reset Password".

  1. You will be redirected to the password reset page. Enter:

    • New password
    • Confirm password
  2. Click "Save".

How to create a good password

A good password should primarily be long and easy for you to remember. It does not necessarily need to be difficult to type or made of a random sequence of characters.

We recommend using a password of at least 20 characters.

A good approach is to use a passphrase: several unrelated or memorable words combined into a sentence.

For example:

I rellay like IPA beer

This password is long, easy to remember, and much easier to type than something like:

X7&kP!2zQ9#Lm4

The most important principles are:

  • Use at least 20 characters.
  • Prefer a long passphrase that is easy for you to remember.
  • Do not use personal information that other people could easily guess.
  • Do not reuse the same password for multiple services.
  • Do not use the example password shown in this guide as your actual password.

💡 Remember: password length is generally more important than making a password unnecessarily complicated.


🔐 Step 4: Configure Two-Factor Authentication (MFA)

To improve the security of your account, you must configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA).

The authentication method used in this guide is TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) with the Ente Auth application.

Ente Auth generates a temporary 6-digit code that changes periodically. After MFA has been configured, this code will be required in addition to your password when logging in.

📌 Configure Ente Auth

  1. Install and open the Ente Auth application on your smartphone.

  2. During the authentik MFA configuration process, a QR code will be displayed on the screen.

  3. In Ente Auth, add a new authentication account and scan the QR code displayed by authentik.

  4. Ente Auth will automatically create an entry for your authentik account and start generating 6-digit verification codes.

  5. Enter the current 6-digit code generated by Ente Auth into the verification code field in authentik.

  6. Click "Verify", "Continue", or the equivalent confirmation button shown on the page.

Done! Your MFA configuration is complete.

From now on, when logging in, you will normally be asked to provide:

Username → Password → 6-digit MFA code from Ente Auth
