====== New Features in CloudBacko Version 4.3 ======

===== Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) =====

The Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a new feature that will provide additional security for the CloudBacko Pro/Lite account aside from using password lock for logging in.

  * Using the CloudBacko app
  * Using TOTP Authenticators. These are third-party apps that provide one-time based password. A few examples are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and LastPass Authenticator.

  - Upon confirmation of the 2FA approval request, the CloudBacko app will receive a push authentication request, to accept or reject the login to CloudBacko Pro/Lite.
  - After an approval request is sent, there is additional option to “Authenticate with one-time password” which can be generated by the CloudBacko app if there are issues with the push notification.
