How can I use 2FA? - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>What is 2FA?</strong></p> <p>"2FA" refers to Multi-factor Authentication. In short this is a process of adding an additional layer of security beyond simply a username & password.</p> <p>We often are asked "where can I actually use 2FA?". This is a pretty vague and often troubling question for customers. Multi-factor Authentication has several uses. </p> <ul><li>Protecting Windows desktop logins.</li> <li>Adding 2FA to a VPN or other appliance that supports RADIUS.</li> <li>Adding 2FA to your RMM (Remote Management) tool.</li> <li>Adding 2FA to popular PSA (Professional Services Automation) Tools.</li> <li>Adding your own customer integration using our publicly available API.</li> </ul><p> </p> <p><strong>Windows desktops</strong></p> <p>Whether you are using a Windows Desktop, Laptop, Workstation or Server we can add a Windows Credential Provider to add an 2FA requirement to the login.<br><strong>Note</strong>: This agent does not replace the existing Windows login requirement of username/password. The agent will only add a third requirement for an Passly passcode.</p> <p>Want to know how to install a Windows Credential Provider?
