Bypassing 2FA for FTP/SFTP/WebDAV Users

You can allow FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV users to bypass the two-factor authentication method. When an Administrator enables this, affected user profiles include an option to bypass 2FA for FTP/SFTP/WebDAV access when configuring their 2FA method.

The site-wide setting to bypass 2FA must be enabled before a user configures their 2FA method, so that the option appears during setup. Users cannot edit an existing 2FA method; an Administrator must reset it, and the user then sets it up again.

To implement 2FA for FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV users while letting scripts or applications sign in securely without 2FA, use an API key as the password for FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV. The user login name is @api-[key-id or API key name] and the password is the API key content.
