# Logging In
1. Go to the address of the Portal server in your web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.). This address should be supplied by your IT staff.
2. Enter your username and password.
* Do not enter your email address.
* Passwords are case-sensitive.
3. If you have setup a 2-factor authentication app, Portal will ask you for a code. Open the app on your phone or other device and type the displayed code.
* The code changes every 30 seconds. If you don't submit the code in that time window, it will be considered incorrect and you will have to go back to step 2.
4. You are now logged in.
# Login Troubleshooting
