Does my Synology package support 2-factor authentication?
Does my Synology package support 2-factor authentication?
Details
Most of Synology services, including packages, mobile apps, and utilities, support 2-factor authentication (2FA). However, some older versions of services may not fully support this function. We recommend to always update to the service's latest version to ensure security and compatibility with 2FA.
This article lists Synology services that either do not support 2FA or only support 2FA under specific conditions. Packages that fully support this function are not listed.
Notes:
- Please refer to this article to learn how to set up 2FA.
- In DSM 6.2 and earlier, 2-factor authentication was formerly named 2-step verification.
- This article does not cover SMB, FTP, SSH, SMTP, and other protocols not developed by Synology as these protocols typically do not support 2-factor authentication.
