NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Disabling multifactor authentication for your user account

You can disable MFA for your user account only If multifactor authentication is not enforced. However, it is strongly recommended that you configure multifactor authentication to protect the security of your account.

If multifactor authentication is enforced, and you want to reset it, See Resetting multifactor authentication for a user.

To disable multifactor authentication for your user account

  1. Sign in to the NetBackup Flex Scale UI.
  2. If you are an Appliance administrator, click the profile icon on the top right, and select Manage multifactor authentication.

    If you are not an Appliance administrator, select Manage multifactor authentication in the home screen.

  3. If you have already configured multifactor authentication for your user account, you can see the Disable button.
  4. Click Disable.
  5. Enter the one-time password and click Submit.
