Installing the Authenticator App

Quantum Cloud is protected with 2-factor authentication. The guide below shows how to download and install the 2-factor authentication app Microsoft Authenticator.

Microsoft Authenticator is straightforward and free to use. It can be installed through Google Play (Android users) or the App Store (Apple users).

Kindly be aware that there are certain applications that mimic the appearance of the Microsoft Authenticator app. Please be careful and only install the official Microsoft Authenticator app onto your mobile device.

Logging on to Quantum Cloud

Once your solicitor has added you as Quantum user, a link will be emailed to you, inviting you to create an account. Click on the link and enter the username and password provided in the email.

You will then be prompted to change your password.

Next, you will be asked to set up 2-factor authentication.

If you are logging in to Quantum Cloud on the same device that you are using the authenticator app on, please scroll to “Setting up the 2-Factor Authentication | Mobile”.


Setting up the 2-Factor Authentication

When you click 'OK' a QR code will appear on your Quantum Cloud screen.

Please do not scan the QR code above. Please scan the QR code generated by Quantum Cloud.

Please note, the code will change every 30 seconds as indicated by the timer, please ensure you input the code within the 30 second time frame.
