# MFA support and Linux virtual machine Edge deployment now available

Several new feature updates and additions have been made to improve Aembit user experience. These updates include:

* Admin console multi-factor authentication support
* Edge components VM deployment support

### Multi-factor authentication support

Aembit now supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) so users can provide different authentication methods. Users can:

* scan a QR code to configure their compatible authentication application
* retrieve MFA Recovery Codes in case the device or application is unavailable
* view the users who have configured MFA within the Aembit Users view.

### Linux-based VM deployment support

Users may now deploy Aembit Edge Components to VMs (non-Kubernetes). This feature enables users to have options on how they want to deploy these components.

For more detailed information about this feature, please see the [virtual machine Installation](/user-guide/deploy-install/virtual-machine) page.
