2FA - Is Acronis safe?

Thread needs solution

Hi

I am wondering if it is a wise idea to continue my subscription with Acronis. There seems to be no option for Two Factor Authentication which concerns me alot that I am not getting an acceptable level of security for my data in 2020.

Can Acronis clarify if this feature is coming and when?

Dean, two factor authentication is not currently implemented in Acronis True Image and to be honest I do not really see where it would be used or why it is needed?

Your subscription allows you to store your backup data in the Acronis Cloud and you control the option to encrypt that data using the security options provided in the Advanced configuration settings for the backup task.

Once your backup is encrypted then only you have the ability to access that data after unlocking it using the encryption key / password you yourself set.

The backup and recovery of your data is performed from your own computer for most purposes where again you have the ability to control all access.

The only other area where 2FA might be employed would be for the Acronis Dashboard where you login using your Acronis Account credentials, but access to your backup data still requires that your encryption key / password be supplied, and the connection uses HTTPS for security as is expected.

All the above comments are my view as a user - I do not work for Acronis, and we do not get Acronis people visiting these forums very often other than the forum moderator, Ekaterina.

Other people here may well come back with counter arguments etc..
