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
