2FA impact on automation scripts
Problem reported by Douglas Foster - Today at 8:11 AM

We discovered that because automation using the API is based on the webmail interface, API logins cannot use the application passwords for 2FA accounts, and the script fails when the 2FA code is not entered.

One option is to use a system admin account that is not 2FA but is locked down to an internal IP., then impersonate for all access that requires an auth token for a different account.

An even better solution would be for ST to permit IP lockdowns on any account.
