You can log in using two options:

• Enable MSP360 Control to send you notifications
• Enable access to the camera
• Scan the QR code (it is shown in the Management Console)

Confirm 2FA Actions

If you use the MSP360 Control application for 2FA purposes and are logged in to the MSP360 Control app, you can scan the QR codes displayed in the confirmation request in the Management Console to approve the action.

Notifications about events in Managed Backup will also appear on the device where the application is installed. To confirm or reject an action, unlock the device.

Open MSP360 Control, 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.
