How Do I Disable Login Authentication?

To ensure account security, you are advised to enable login authentication.

After you enable this function, you and IAM users created using your account need to enter a verification code generated by the bound virtual MFA device, an SMS verification code, or an email verification code on the Login Verification page during login.

If you disable this function, you and the IAM users only need to enter the account name/username and password during login.

  4. Click OK.
