Require 2FA for Unattended Access (Custom Clients)

Applicable for: Admin / IT agent
Platform: Windows 9.7.0

When creating a custom client in my.anydesk II, administrators can enable the option Require Two-Factor Authentication for Unattended Access.

If this option is enabled, users must configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) before Unattended Access can be used.

Procedure

🦉  For more details about custom client creation, see this article. 

1. Sign in to my.anydesk II and navigate to Builds.

2. Click Create Build and configure the settings for your custom client.

3. Go to Step 2. Security > Permission Profiles and enable Require 2FA for Unattended Access.
   

4. Finish configuring the custom client and click Save.  

5. Share it with your end users.

Result

• Users are prompted to set up 2FA when enabling Unattended Access in the AnyDesk client

• Unattended Access can be configured but it will not work until 2FA is enabled.

• If 2FA is removed, Unattended Access is disabled and will only work again after 2FA is re-enabled.  

• The requirement cannot be disabled by end users unless they are have admin permissions

💡 NOTE

If 2FA is required but not yet configured, users are prompted to set up 2FA when interacting with Unattended Access (e.g., when adding or changing an Unattended Access password).
