How do I set up two-factor authentication? (CrashPlan for Small Business FAQ)

Updated March 06, 2023 23:29

To use two-factor authentication, you will need an application or plugin to generate verification codes to login. We test and recommend the applications listed below, but any Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) application should work.

Mobile app authentication

Google Authenticator - iOS and Android

Browser-based authentication

Authenticator plugin - Chrome, Firefox, and Edge

Set up two-factor authentication

When signing in to the CrashPlan console, the Set Up Two-Factor Authentication message appears.
Using your authenticator, scan the QR code provided (see sample below) or manually enter the displayed code in your authenticator.
In the Set Up Two-Factor Authentication message, enter the verification code displayed in your authenticator mobile app or authenticator browser plugin.
Click Sign In.
