Learning about third-party multi-factor authentication apps

The multi-factor authentication (MFA) feature in our Onvio and Digita Professional Suite applications is compatible with many popular Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication apps, such as Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. The third-party authenticator option is intended for those firms who are already using another company's MFA app to secure their data.

Because these are third-party apps, they do not provide push notifications when you sign in to our products. To take advantage of push notifications and the one-touch access they provide, download the Thomson Reuters Authenticator mobile app.

  2. When prompted to verify your account via MFA, use the third-party authenticator app to generate a numerical code.
  3. Enter the numerical code in the login screen for your Thomson Reuters application or website.

Our Support team assists customers by providing information, resources, and troubleshooting for Thomson Reuters applications running in supported environments.
