The two-factor authentication provides additional security to your account and helps in preventing unauthorized access. Once two-factor authentication is enabled via web, in addition to your password, you will need to enter a verification code sent to your email address or phone number or generated via Time-based OTP authenticator app, while signing in to your IDrive Asustor Backup account. Read more on how to enable two-factor authentication for your IDrive account.
To sign in after two-factor authentication is enabled,
- On the IDrive's Asustor Backup sign in screen, enter your username and password and click Sign in.
- If you have selected Email address or Phone number as the preferred method of receiving one-time verification code, enter the same and click Verify.
Note: You can also add your computer as a trusted device by selecting the Trust this computer checkbox. Once a computer is added as a trusted device, users will not be asked to enter verification code during any subsequent sign in.
- If you have selected Time-based OTP authentication as the preferred method of receiving one-time verification code, enter the one-time code generated by the Time-based OTP authenticator app in your mobile device and click Submit Code.
