    Email-based authentication enhances the security of access to Arctera Surveillance and its data. Management Console administrators can enable or disable MFA at the user and tenant levels. If email-based authentication is enabled for you, a one-time password (OTP) is sent to your registered email address to authenticate your access to the application. The OTP remains valid for 5 minutes from the time the email is received.
    Manually enter the OTP on the authentication screen within 5 minutes. Copying and pasting the OTP is not allowed.
    If you do not enter the OTP within 5 minutes of receiving it, the application displays a message indicating that the OTP has expired. To obtain a new OTP, click Resend OTP. The application sends a new OTP.
  5. Click Continue.
