Changes compared to 20.2.2
PLEASE NOTE: this is a limited-security feature only, protecting only (A) registering new devices; (B) opening the desktop app; and (C) logging in to the Comet Server web interface as an end user. Because backup jobs need to run unattended without 2FA prompting, this feature does not provide full 2FA protection in all cases.
PLEASE NOTE: For privacy reasons, these features may be disabled by the customer using the "Allow administrator to view file names" option.
