Using Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

To enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) in vStor, click on your on the topbar and select Enroll to Multifactor Authentication from the dropdown menu.

You can use one of the two methods of MFA in your vStor instance:

  • Authentication App (like Microsoft Authenticator)

  • One Time E-mail Password

Attention! E-mail password authentication cannot be recovered. We recommend you use an authentication app.

Enabling MFA with an authentication app

To connect an authentication app to vStor, scan the QR code or manually enter the code and click Verify:

Once you verify your app, you will receive a list of recovery codes, which you should store in a safe place.

Note. Once MFA is enabled, username and password authentication for the REST API will no longer be available. Use generated API keys for authentication instead. For more details, see Using vStor API Keys with Catalogic DPX.

You can also click Download to get a CSV file with your recovery codes.

Removing MFA with an authentication app

If you want to remove MFA from vStor, click on your on the topbar and select Remove Multifactor Authentication from the dropdown menu:

Now, provide your vStor password and password generated by your authentication app. Click Remove MFA to remove your authenticator:
