Configure multifactor authentication for your user account
For enhanced security, you can configure multifactor authentication for your user account. You must first install and configure authenticator application on your smart device that provides you with the one-time password.
Configuring multifactor authentication in NetBackup does not require internet connectivity on your smart device.
If the NetBackup administrator has enforced multifactor authentication in the NetBackup domain, you must configure it for your user account for successful sign-in.
