Log In to WatchGuard Cloud
By default, operators use a password for authentication when they log in to WatchGuard Cloud.
For increased security, an operator account can have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled. When MFA is enabled for an operator account, the operator continues to log in to WatchGuard Cloud with their user name and password, but must also authenticate with their token in the AuthPoint mobile app. For more information, go to Enable MFA for WatchGuard Cloud Operators.

If you enter the wrong password more than 10 times, you are locked out and cannot log in for at least 30 minutes.
