Log on to Alibaba Gov Cloud
After you create an account and complete identity verification, you can use the account to log on to the Alibaba Gov Cloud platform to purchase and use products.
Background information
Before you log on to the Alibaba Gov Cloud platform, make sure that you have created an account and completed identity verification.
To meet the security requirements of Alibaba Gov Cloud, you must attach a multi-factor authentication (MFA) device to your account to enhance logon security.
When MFA is enabled, you must provide your username and password (the first factor) and a security code from your MFA device (the second factor) to log on. This two-factor authentication provides stronger security for your account.
You can use the Alibaba Cloud app (V4.6 or later) to attach an MFA device. For the procedure, see How to attach and use MFA. If you use an app such as Google Authenticator to attach an MFA device, follow the steps below.
You can use the Alibaba Cloud app (V4.6 or later) on Android and iPhone devices to attach an MFA device.
If you have already attached an MFA device using an app such as Google Authenticator, you can switch to the Alibaba Cloud app. For more information, see How to switch MFA applications.
