# Adding a Web Authenticator to Your CommCell Account

You can add a web authenticator—either a Platform authenticator or a Roaming authenticator, or both—to your CommCell account. After you add the web authenticator to your CommCell account, by default, the Commvault software uses the authenticator as the second step for two-factor authentication.

The next time you log on to the Command Center, the Commvault software prompts you to connect the authenticator to the USB port on your computer.

## Before You Begin

- Enable two-factor authentication at the CommCell level.

  Optionally, enable passwordless login or both usernameless and passwordless login.

- Connect the authenticator to the USB port on your computer. If you do not have an authenticator, contact your Commvault administrator or IT help desk.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Account > Security.

   The Security page appears.

2. Click the Users tile.

   The Users page appears.
