Logging In

Arkata uses email-based sign-in with mandatory two-factor authentication (MFA) to keep your firm’s data secure.

​
First-time login

1

Check your email

You’ll receive an email with a temporary password from your administrator. Click the link or go to your firm’s Arkata URL directly.
2

Enter your credentials

Use your email address and the temporary password to sign in for the first time.
3

Set a new password

You’ll be prompted to choose a permanent password. Pick something strong — at least 8 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
4

Set up MFA

Arkata requires a TOTP authenticator app. You’ll see a QR code — scan it with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar) and enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Save your authenticator app’s backup codes somewhere safe. If you lose access to your phone, you’ll need your administrator to reset your MFA.

​
Regular login

  1. Go to your firm’s Arkata URL
  2. Enter your email and password
  3. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app
  4. You’re in

​
Locked out?

If you can’t sign in:
  • Wrong password: Try again carefully. After too many failed attempts your account may be temporarily locked.
  • Lost authenticator: Contact your firm’s administrator — they can reset your MFA.
  • Account disabled: If your account has been deactivated, only an administrator can re-enable it.
