Configuring Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Veeam Backup for AWS is based on the Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) method that requires the user to verify the user identity by providing a temporary six-digit code sent by an authentication application to a trusted device.
