Configuring multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances the security of the secadmin account. MFA is a multi-step authentication process that allows users to login to the VSP One File management software using the login password and a one-time password (OTP) generated from a configured OTP application.

  1. Navigate to Manage > Users.
  2. In the Users pane, click the secadmin user.
  3. In the secadmin pane, select Configure OTP from Required user actions list, and then click Save.
