Login

There are two options for login to the SICON.OS :

Option 1: Logging In with your username & password (without Two-Factor Authentication)

This is the first option where you need to Login (For already users) with your username & password.

Logging in without 2FA is a simpler but less secure method. You enter your username and password to access your SICON.OS account. This is the only layer of security.

After login, you will see the homepage. Welcome to SICON.OS dashboard.

Option 2: Logging In with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

When you choose two-factor authentication (2FA) as log in option, your account is additionally protected by requesting a confirmation code when you log in. Authentication verifies the user's identity so that you can only log in with your own password and code.

You can obtain the additional login code in an authentication app for your smartphone, such as the Google Authenticator App, Microsoft Authenticator App or Authy App.

Downloading one of these apps is mandatory for retrieving the code when logging in.
