Confirm 2FA Actions

If you use the MSP Admin 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 Admin, then in notification select whether to confirm the action or decline it. You can view history of confirmed or declined requests on Notifications.

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.

Configure the application settings. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Open MSP Admin (MSP Control icon).

2. Tap the Settings icon.

   • Authenticate via Face ID. Enable it if your device supports Face ID authentication and you want to use it
   • Notification mode. In this group, you can specify the category of notifications you want to receive (2FA confirmation requests arrive regardless of this setting)
   • Scan QR Code. Use this option to authenticate with QR code scanning
