Confirm 2FA Actions

If you use the MSP Control application for 2FA purposes, the notifications on the events on Managed Backup will appear on the screen of the device on which the application is installed. To confirm or reject the action, unlock the device.

Open MSP Control, tap the bell icon, find the required notification, then select whether to approve the action or reject it.

As you confirm the action, the mobile application sends a confirmation to the Management Console, and the action is allowed for execution. If no confirmation arrives, the rejection message is sent to the Management Console and is written to the Audit Log.
