We have made changes to improve the user experience and provide a more secure way of accessing multiple applications secured with KOG using single sign-on. If you have an existing KOG account, you DO NOT need to create a new account. Please use your existing KOG login credentials to sign-in.
If you do not remember your password, need to reset your password, or your account has been locked due to too many incorrect attempts, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Enter the email address associated with your account and click the Next button.
Step 2: Click the Forgot Password? link and follow the on-screen instructions. If you need further assistance, click here to view a user guide that will walk you through resetting your password.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or 2-Step Verification Security Methods
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to an app. MFA is a core component of a strong Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy.
If KOG determines that a higher level of security is needed, it will prompt you to complete MFA. If you have access to at least one of the apps that needs a higher level of security, you will be prompted for MFA on each login attempt regardless of the app you are trying to access at that time.
There are five (5) types of authenticators you may connect to your KOG account. Please note that these options are role-based and automatically assigned by KOG, meaning that you may not see every MFA listed below when setting up MFA on your KOG account:
- The ForgeRock Push Notification sends you a push notification to your mobile device and/or smart watch to accept/reject the authentication. This is the recommended MFA.
- The ForgeRock Authenticator Security Code requires you to access the ForgeRock Authenticator application on your smart device and enter the verification code on your browser.
- The Symantec VIP requires you to access the Symantec VIP application on your desktop or smart device and enter the verification code on your browser.
- The Phone requires you to enter a code sent to your mobile device via SMS text or voice call. Standard messaging rates may apply.
- Email Based MFA requires you to enter a code sent to your email address.
