Why use 2FA?
If a malicious user gains access to your system(s), they will encrypt your data, delete the backup sets, and then purge your backed-up data.
Enabling 2FA on all your devices will enforce a challenge using an Authenticator App before anyone can log into the software on your devices.
Scheduled backups are unaffected by the 2FA settings.
How to enable 2FA
After logging into your device’s desktop software, you will see the 2FA screen.
-
Download and open the Microsoft Authenticator app from the app store. Use the QR code on the screen to add a new account.
-
The 2FA code is displayed on screen and can be used to authenticate your login.
-
If you don’t want to use 2FA for this device, click on Skip Device pairing in the bottom left. You can always enable it later.
- You can add and delete 2FA settings for other users on the account.
