Excluding accounts from two-step verification

You can exclude an account from two-step verification if your account has the Modify object ACLs right in the General features: User permissions functional area.

If a user account is excluded from two-step verification, that user can log in to Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center 13.1 Web Console without using two-step verification.

Excluding accounts from two-step verification can be necessary for service accounts that cannot pass the security code during authentication.
