The Cloud Credentials widget on the Backup Credentials screen allows users to integrate TrueNAS with cloud storage providers.
These providers are supported for Cloud Sync tasks in TrueNAS SCALE:
Amazon S3 Backblaze B2 Box Dropbox File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Google Cloud Storage Google Drive Google Photos Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Hubic (closed to new accounts) Mega Microsoft Azure Blob Storage OpenStack Swift pCloud SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) Storj iX WebDAV Yandex To maximize security, TrueNAS encrypts cloud credentials when saving them.
The Backup Credentials screen displays the Cloud Credentials, SSH Connections and SSH Keypairs widgets.
Cloud Credentials Widget The Cloud Credentials widget displays a list of cloud storage credentials configured on the system.
Before adding cloud credentials for a cloud storage provider, the Cloud Credentials widget displays No Cloud Credentials configured.
Add opens the Cloud Credentials configuration screen.
Click the name of a cloud credential to open the Cloud Credentials configuration screen populated with the settings for that credential.
The SSH Connections and SSH Keypairs widgets on the Backup Credentials screen display a list of SSH connections and keypairs 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.
Creating an SSH Connection To begin setting up an SSH connection, go to Credentials > Backup Credentials.
Figure 1: Backup Credentials Screen Click Add on the SSH Connections widget.
The Backup Credentials screen displays the SSH Connections and SSH Keypairs widgets.
You must also configure and activate the SSH Service to allow SSH access.
SSH Connection and Keypairs Widgets The SSH Connections and SSH Keypairs widgets display a list of SSH connections and keypairs configured on the system.
Figure 1: Backup Credentials Screen The SSH Connections widget allows users to establish Secure Socket Shell (SSH) connections. The SSH Keypairs widget allows users to generate SSH keypairs required to authenticate the identity of a user or process that wants to access the system using SSH protocol.
TrueNAS stores cloud backup services credentials, SSH connections, and SSH keypairs 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.

Two-factor authentication is time-based and requires a correct system time setting. The Two-Factor Authentication screen has buttons to manage two-factor authentication (2FA) credentials, and it displays a different message depending on if you have 2FA enabled or disabled.
To configure 2FA settings go to the Advanced settings screen. For more information, see the Managing Global 2FA tutorial.

The SCALE CLI guide is a work in progress! New namespace and command documentation is continually added and maintained, so check back here often to see what is new! Keychain_Credential Namespace The keychain_credential namespace has nine commands and is based on SSH credential and keypair creation and management functions found in the SCALE API and web UI. It provides access to backup credential methods through the keychain_credential commands.
Keychain_Credential Commands The following keychain_credential commands allow you to create new and manage existing SSH credentials and keypairs.
Global Two-factor authentication (2FA) is great for increasing security.
TrueNAS offers global 2FA to ensure that entities cannot use a compromised administrator 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.
