Adding SSH Credentials
The SSH Connections and SSH Keypairs widgets on the Backup Credentials screen display a list of SSH connections and key pairs configured on the system. Using these widgets, users can establish Secure Socket Shell (SSH) connections.
You must also configure and activate the SSH Service to allow SSH access.
To begin setting up an SSH connection, go to Credentials > Backup Credentials.

Backup Credentials
TrueNAS stores cloud backup services credentials, SSH connections, and SSH key pairs configured using the widgets on the Backup Credentials screen. Users can set up backup credentials with cloud and SSH clients to back up data in case of drive failure.
The Backup Credentials screen displays the Cloud Credentials, SSH Connections, and SSH Keypairs widgets.
Click Add on the widget for the type of credential to add to open that configuration screen.
Two-Factor Authentication Screen
Two-factor authentication is time-based and requires a correct system time setting.
The Two-Factor Authentication screen, accessed from the Settings menu on the top toolbar, allows managing user-level two-factor authentication (2FA) credentials. It shows a different message if 2FA enabled than when not configured or disabled.
To configure 2FA settings go to the Advanced Settings screen. For more information, see the Managing Global 2FA tutorial.
Renew Secret changes the system-generated Secret and Provisioning URI values.
Managing Global 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
Global Two-factor authentication (2FA) is great for increasing security.
TrueNAS offers global 2FA to ensure that entities cannot use a compromised administrator or root password to access the administrator interface.
Advanced settings have reasonable defaults in place. A warning message displays for some settings advising of the dangers of making changes. Changing advanced settings can be dangerous when done incorrectly. Use caution before saving changes.
Make sure you are comfortable with ZFS, Linux, and system configuration, backup, and restoration before making any changes.
