Security Key

v.20220912.JS

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this document is to walk you through how to set up 2-step verification for your Wycliffe USA Google account using a security key.

This document assumes that this is your first time setting up 2-step verification on your Wycliffe USA Google account and that you have already been issued a security key.

This document could be used during new staff orientation or for those that previously setup 2-step verification with their smartphones and would like to add a security key.

Before getting started

If you do not yet have a key, please CLICK HERE to fill out our Google form so that the Wycliffe HelpDesk may send you one.

Getting Started

Logging into Wycliffe Identity profile

• CLICK HERE to log directly into your Wycliffe IDP profile page.

  • Link: https://usa-pw.iidp.net/

If you have not previously added a security key to your IDP account, you will see the yellow exclamation triangle, with the message stating “No security key at this time, please add one”.

If you have previously added a security key to your IDP account and it’s not working, you may click on the Lost or New, or Remove buttons in the USB security key section before continuing.

• Click on the Add button in the USB security key section

The next screen will ask if you have a USB security key. This document assumes you have one in hand.

• Click the Yes button

Next, it will ask you to insert your USB security key. If you haven’t done so already, do so now.

• Click the “OK, I Inserted It” button

Once inserted, you will see the following popups.

Once inserted, the light on the security key will start flashing.

• Touch the gold contact on the security key.

After touching the security key, you will be presented with an Excellent! Screen.

• Click on the Continue button

The next screen will ask if you want to create Printable Backup Codes.

If you haven’t done so already, this is highly recommended. 

• Click on Create New Codes if you wish to do so now.

  • This document will not go in depth on backup codes

  • To learn more about Printable Backup Codes, CLICK HERE.

• Click on Skip If you wish to create Printable Backup Codes later.

That’s It!

Once this process is completed, the next screen will tell you so.

• Click on the “See My Profile” button

Once you are back on your profile screen, you will notice that the Security Key box is populated with information on creation date and when it was last used.

This shows that it was successfully added to your profile.

Optional - Set up an Authenticator App

This step is optional, but important. The setup process for adding an authenticator app, and adding your Wycliffe USA Identity Profile account to it, is fairly simple and quick. It is well worth the extra effort to do this now so that you can more easily get into your account in the future should something happen to your security key and backup codes.
