Today we’re introducing two-factor authentication (2FA) for Redis Enterprise, aimed at strengthening overall security and preventing unauthorized access. This enhancement can help protect your Redis account and eliminate unauthorized access. While this setting is optional, we strongly recommend implementing it.

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to enable 2-factor authentication:

Setting up 2FA on your Redis account

  1. Log into your account, click on the top right menu button and navigate to your user profile by clicking on your name at the bottom of the right navigation pane:
Redis Account User Profile

2) In your user profile, click on the ‘Multi Factor Authentication’ button.

3) Next, click ‘Activate Now.’

4) Start the process by entering your mobile phone number and click ‘Continue’:

Enter Your Phone Number

Wait a few moments and check your phone. You should receive an SMS with your six-digit code for verification. Enter it and click ‘Verify.’

That’s it. You are all set and ready to go.

If you prefer, you can also configure your Google Authenticator app (iOS, Android) by clicking on the ‘Configure’ button next to that option.
