Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication in VSA Admin Portal has been designed to facilitate and empower security access for users. The feature is meant to prevent unauthorized users from accessing VSA account data.

Important Note: In the case where a user account or IP address is whitelisted in the AuthAnvil two-factor module, the same user account and/or IP address will be subject to Kaseya’s native two-factor authentication.

Enabled 2FA feature obliges a user to provide not only the credentials (username and password), but to submit a Time-based, One-Time Password (TOTP) in order to access the VSA account.

TOTP is an authorization code generated by an Authenticator application and is valid for a limited time. We recommend using the following Authenticator applications:
