eScan Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) 

Your default system authentication (login/password) is Single-Factor Authentication which is considered insecure as it may put your organization’s data at high risk of compromise. The Two-Factor Authentication, also more commonly known as 2FA, adds an extra layer of protection to your basic system logon.  The 2FA feature requires personnel to enter an additional passcode after entering the system login password. So, even if an unauthorized person knows your system credentials, the 2FA feature secures a system against unauthorized logons.

 

With the 2FA feature enabled, the system will be protected with basic system login and eScan 2FA.  After entering the system credentials, eScan Authentication screen will appear. The personnel will have to enter the 2FA passcode to access the system. A maximum of three attempts are allowed to enter the correct passcode.  If the 2FA login fails, the personnel will have to wait for 30 seconds to log in again.


To enable the Two-Factor Authentication feature, follow the steps given below:

  1. In the eScan web console, go to Managed Computers.
  2. Click Policy Templates > New Template. <tbody> </tbody>

Login Scenarios

RDP

RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol.  Whenever someone takes remote connection of a client’s system, the personnel will have to enter system login credentials and 2FA passcode to access the system.


Safe Mode

Password Types
