Veeam’s MFA Mishap: When Extra Security Locks You Out!

Veeam Recovery Orchestrator users, beware! Version 7.2.1.286 had a case of digital amnesia, blocking logins after enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA). The fix is here, but if you fell into the login void, reach out to support before upgrading. Who knew MFA could stand for “Mysteriously Forget Authentication”?

Hot Take:

Oh Veeam, you’ve really outdone yourself this time. Who knew that trying to enhance security with multi-factor authentication would lead to an accidental game of “lock yourself out”? It’s like trying to install a top-of-the-line security system and forgetting the code. But hey, at least they’re on it, fixing bugs faster than you can say “ransomware recovery!”

Key Points:

  • Veeam Recovery Orchestrator’s recent version blocks Web UI logins after enabling MFA.
  • The issue affects VRO build 7.2.1.286, available for download from July 8th to July 17th.
  • Veeam has released version 7.2.1.290 to address the issue, but affected users should contact support.
  • A separate issue involves connection errors on Windows 11 24H2 when using Veeam Recovery Media.
  • Veeam serves over 550,000 customers, including a majority of Global 2,000 and Fortune 500 companies.
