This article explains how users log in to Opus 2 for the first time, including email verification, password creation, and multi‑factor authentication (MFA) setup.


Before a user can log in to Opus 2, an administrator must create the user account and assign an appropriate role. Once this is completed, the user receives an automated email containing a secure link to verify their email address and complete initial account setup.

First‑time login requires the user to:

  • Accept the Opus 2 Acceptable Use Policy
  • Set up multi‑factor authentication (MFA)
  • Create and confirm a password

MFA is mandatory and must be completed using a supported authenticator application.

Step 1: Receive Account Setup Email

After an administrator creates the account, the user receives an email invitation from Opus 2.

  • The email contains a link to verify the user’s email address
  • Click the link to begin the login setup process

Example:
A newly onboarded team member receives an Opus 2 welcome email with a verification link.

Step 2: Review Login Requirements

After clicking the link, the user is redirected to the Opus 2 platform.

  • The platform displays the initial setup requirements
  • Click Proceed to continue

Step 3: Accept the Acceptable Use Policy

The user is presented with the Opus 2 Acceptable Use Policy.

  • Review the policy
  • Accept the terms to proceed

Acceptance of the policy is required before accessing the platform.

Step 4: Set Up Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA)

Opus 2 requires MFA for all users.

  • Supported authenticator apps:
    • Google Authenticator
    • FreeOTP
  • Follow the on‑screen instructions to configure MFA
  • Scan the QR code using the authenticator app
  • Enter the one‑time code generated by the app

Optionally, the user may enter a device name for the authenticator app before selecting Submit.

Example:
A user scans the QR code using Google Authenticator and enters the generated six‑digit code.

After setup, a new app‑generated code will be required at every login.

Step 5: Create a Password

Once MFA is configured:

  • Enter a password that meets the platform’s requirements
  • Confirm the password
  • Click Submit to complete account setup

The account is now ready for use.


Once first‑time login is complete, users should confirm MFA access and password functionality before beginning work in Opus 2 to ensure uninterrupted access.
