About QNAP Authenticator
Overview
QNAP Authenticator is a mobile app that allows you to further enhance your NAS account security with either 2-step verification or passwordless login, both of which use your mobile device to verify your identity in the login process.
2-step verification requires an extra verification step involving your mobile device. For example, after entering your password on the NAS login screen, you still have to enter a security code or scan a QR code.
On the other hand, passwordless login replaces your password with a more secure alternative. Instead of entering a password on the NAS login screen, you scan a QR code or approve a login request with your mobile device to prove your identity.
You cannot enable 2-step verification and passwordles login at the same time.
