Use a [CSV](/getting-started/new-user/glossary.md#csvcomma_separated_values) file to upload IP addresses, with optional descriptions and locations. Highlight creates the locations and provides up/down status on the devices. You can alert and report on the availability of these devices. Find out more about [ICMP Polling](/admin/admin-page/controller.md#create-edit-controller-icmp-polling). ### Multi-Factor Authentication In addition to providing a username and password, users now need a secondary authentication method to log in. Users can link their Highlight account with an authenticator app like Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, 1Password, etc. The setup screens provide a QR code to do this or a manually entered key. There's an additional option to verify via email. Existing users can choose **Skip for now** for a period of time. New users must enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
In subsequent logins, users will need to verify their account with a code. Find out more about [MFA](/getting-started/new-user/user-authentication.md#multi-factor-authentication). ### Bug fixes * SNMP Switches: Resolved a polling issue with HP switches, data now collected normally * Scheduled Reports: Resolved a validation issue so these reports can now be saved * Reporting Inventory: Vendor type fields have been updated ### Service description The [Highlight Service Description document](/getting-started/new-user/service-description.md) concisely describes how Highlight works and its key features.
