About multifactor authentication
Multifactor authentication is a multiple-step account login process that requires you to enter a 6-digit one-time password along with your password.
It is strongly recommended that you configure multifactor authentication to protect the security of your environment.
Note:
User logins that are based on the following authentication types do not support multifactor authentication: SAML, smart card, and API keys.
See Configure multifactor authentication for your user account.
If multifactor authentication is configured, you may need to reauthenticate yourself by entering the one-time password that you see in the authenticator application on your smart device before you perform the following operations:
Manage the global security settings for the primary server
Adding an API key
If multifactor authentication is enforced in the NetBackup domain, all users must configure multifactor authentication for their user accounts for successful sign-in.
See Configure multifactor authentication for your user account when it is enforced in the domain.
