===== Logging in to Bede =====
(see https://bede-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/index.html for details)
<WRAP box round tip>
**The SAFE website** provides authentication services to a large number of HPC facilities so **has options which are not relevant to Bede.**
  * Register with your **@newcastle.ac.uk** email address
  * Ignore options to 'Login with institutional credentials' and 'upload ssh key' - neither of these is valid for Bede.
  * Older documentation may refer to key-based authentication for Bede.  This is no longer valid.  Only 2 Factor Authentication is valid for Bede.
</WRAP>
=== Step 1: One-time Login Account Password ===

https://safe.epcc.ed.ac.uk/ provides a one-use Login Account Password for your Bede Account.   N.B. only SAFE accounts //using an **@newcastle.ac.uk** email address// will be approved.

  * Click Login accounts and choose your <username>@Bede login name
{{ :advanced:safe-bede-login-account-management.png?nolink&400 | Retrieve the **one-use** Login Account Password for your Bede Account}} 
  * Check that Status is Active
  * Click the red 'View Login Account Password' button to retrieve a one-use password


=== Step 2: First Login to Bede sets up 2 Factor Authentication ===

<WRAP box round important half>** First login by SSH only** 
</WRAP>
When you first login to Bede, or after a password reset, you should use SSH to connect to the machine (rather than x2go).  Failure to do this, or to set a new password will require you to go back to Step 1 and click 'Request Password Reset'
  * Connect to Bede using ssh <username>@**bede.dur.ac.uk** and the one-use password from Step 1 above
  * You will be prompted to:
      * Change your password
      * Import an MFA token into an app on your mobile device
==== Normal login to Bede ====
Once MFA is set up, instead of Password, will be prompted for:
  * First Factor - this is your password
  * Second Factor - this is a one-time password code provided by the token in your app
