Each soft key user must firstly download the ‘CPOMS Authenticator’ app to their chosen device i.e. a smart phone, tablet or iPad.
You can find the CPOMS Authenticator app by searching the name in your app store, or by using one of the below hyperlinks:-
Once you have downloaded the app, please log in to your CPOMS account as a non-key user (on a separate device to the app).
Once you have logged in to CPOMS, click on the ‘Account Settings’ section, along the top bar, and then click on the ‘Security Keys’ tab, to the left-hand side of the screen.
Under the sub-heading for CPOMS Authenticator, please click on ‘Add new device’. This will then create a QR code for you to scan within your CPOMS Authenticator App.
To scan the QR code, simply open up the app and tap the ‘Scan QR Code’ message. Now point your device camera towards this image. Once the app has scanned the QR code, it will begin generating random numbers. For security purposes, the numbers will change every 30 seconds as the circle goes round.
Next, beneath the QR code image on screen, enter a ‘Name’ for your device i.e. iPad/ My Phone.
In ‘Code’ type in the current 6-digit code which is appearing in your app.
Lastly click ‘Save this device’.
To elevate your access, please click on ‘Dashboard’ to the top left-hand corner of the screen in CPOMS, to refresh your page. To the top right-hand corner of your CPOMS screen, you should now have a ‘Elevate Your Access’ option to click on. Once selected, enter the 6-digit number appearing on your app currently, and click ‘Authenticate’.
If you are in a higher level user group, your access will now change to reflect your user group permissions.
*Please note, each key holder must set up the soft key on their device, within their own CPOMS log-in.
