Overview
Maltego ID is the single unified login account for all your Maltego products and services, consisting of an email address and a password. Maltego ID also ensures more secure access by enabling 2-factor authentication.
You can use your Maltego ID to securely log in, activate and manage your Maltego products through the Admin section of Maltego's Browser App through a single account.
You will also find a simple installation guide with video tutorials on the Maltego Academy site here.
Activating your Maltego Products using Maltego ID
After you have downloaded the Malteog Desktop Client, double-click the installer to begin the installation process. The Maltego Activation Wizard will start up and continue to guide you through installation.
Activation Options
You will be presented with two options for activating the Maltego Desktop Client.
To activate your Maltego Client using Maltego ID, select the Maltego ID option and click Next.
Proceed through Online Activation (this is the default activation option - Offline Activation will become available from the end of September 2024).
Once you have registered and activated your account, you can click the Browser Login button or copy the link into a browser of your choice (on the same system running the Client).
In the browser, use your Maltego ID registration details to login to your account.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is supported. You will need the Authenticator app to scan the QR code and enter the code generated.
Once authentication is complete, close the browser and return to the Maltego Desktop Client.
