The new password takes effect after all fields pass validation. Use the new password the next time you log on to Dataphin Manager.
Virtual MFA
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection beyond a username and password.
With MFA enabled, you log on with your username and password (first factor) and then enter a dynamic verification code from your MFA device (second factor), providing stronger account security.
MFA devices can be hardware-based or software-based. Currently, the Alibaba Cloud website supports software-based virtual MFA. Before using virtual MFA, install the Alibaba Cloud app (scan the QR code on the Alibaba Cloud website to download it), Google Authenticator, or another MFA application supported by Alibaba Cloud.
You can also download a compatible application from your device’s app store. The following table lists supported MFA applications by phone type:
|
Phone Type |

|
Android |
Google Authenticator (search and download from major app stores) |
|
iPhone |

Enable Virtual MFA Authentication
-
On the Dataphin Manager homepage, click your profile picture in the top menu bar and select Security Settings.
-
In the Security Settings dialog box, click Enable Virtual MFA.
The system generates a key for your account. You can obtain this key by scanning a QR code or by entering information manually.
-
Scan to get the key: On the Scan tab of the logon page, scan the QR code to get the key.
NoteUse an MFA application on your smartphone, such as the Alibaba Cloud app, to scan the code. If the app already has a device with the same name, delete it before scanning again.
-
Enter information manually: On the Manual Entry tab of the logon page, copy the account name and key.
-
-
Attach the virtual MFA device. You must complete this step within 10 minutes after the key is generated.
-
In the Attach Virtual MFA section of the logon page, enter the 6-digit security code generated by your MFA app after scanning.
-
Click Confirm Attachment.
-
When the super_admin user enables virtual MFA, it is enabled for all users. After enabling virtual MFA, all currently logged-on users are forced to log on again. During logon, they must enter their username and password and then authenticate using the virtual MFA device.
Disable Virtual MFA Authentication
-
On the Dataphin Manager homepage, click your profile picture in the top menu bar and select Security Settings.
-
In the Security Settings dialog box, click Disable Virtual MFA.
-
In the Disable Virtual MFA dialog box, click OK, then enter the security code in the Virtual MFA Verification dialog box.
After disabling virtual MFA, all currently logged-on users are forced to log on again. During logon, they no longer need to verify with the virtual MFA device and can log on by entering only their username and password.
