About multi-factor authentication
Multi-factor authentication is a multi-step account login process that requires users to enter more information than just a password. The second level of authentication can help prevent unauthorized account access if a system password is compromised. This method protects against stolen credentials by requiring additional authentication steps (or factors) before granting access. Common factors are username and password, numeric codes from an authentication application, or physical security keys. NetBackup supports time-based one-time password. The one-time password works with commonly available authentication applications, such as Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator. NetBackup users can configure multi-factor authentication for their user accounts. If the NetBackup Security Administrator has enforced it in the domain, all users must configure it for a successful web UI sign-in.
See the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide for more information.
