Webster+ System Logon

Once Webster+ Security is enabled and the Administrative User details are saved, the System Logon page displays. The system administrator can then enter his/her user name/email and password to log in, specify security and configuration settings, and define other users.

Other users who are defined and allowed access to the system must click the Logon option on the left side and enter their user name/email and password on the System Logon page.

If Two-Step Verification is set up, users must also enter a randomly generated six-digit security code received by email or SMS text message, or obtained from an authenticator app, to confirm their identity. See Login Process with Two-Step Verification for an outline of the key steps to log in.

Login Process with Two-Step Verification

Webster+ provides the option to set up Two-Step Verification to enhance system security. If Two-Step Verification is set up, users logging into the system must verify their identity by entering a six-digit security code received by email or SMS text message, or obtained from an authenticator app.

(The ability to integrate to a third-party authenticator app was added in PxPlus 2026 Update 1.)

The primary purpose of Two-Step Verification is to help ensure user identity by requiring both something the user knows (user ID and password) and something the user has access to (email account, device for text messages, or an authenticator app).

This table outlines the key steps for logging in using Two-Step Verification:

1.

Enter Credentials

On the System Logon page, the user enters the User Name or Email address and Password as defined in User Maintenance.

2.

Select Two-Step Verification Method (if applicable)

The Two-Step Logon Verification page displays the verification method(s) that are available based on the information provided for the user in User Maintenance.

For example, if an email address and cell phone number have been provided for the user, this page displays options to send the verification code by email or SMS text message. If an authenticator app has also been set up, that option displays as well. If only an email address has been provided, only the email verification method is displayed.

The user selects the method to use for verification.

Example - Two Verification Methods Available:

3.

Receive or Obtain Verification Code

The user receives a randomly generated six-digit verification code by email or SMS text message, or obtains a six-digit code from the authenticator app.

4.

Enter and Verify the Code

The Two-Step Logon Verification window displays. The user enters the six-digit verification code and selects Verify.

Example 1 - Code Received by Email:

Example 2 - Code Obtained from an Authenticator App:

5.

Complete Logon

If the verification code is valid, authentication is successful, and the user is granted access.

If the verification code is invalid or expired, the user must enter a valid code. For email or SMS text message verification, request a new code by selecting Resend Code. For authenticator app verification, obtain a new code from the authenticator app.
