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.
