[nodebb-plugin-2factor] Two-Factor Authentication

[LB]

Are backup codes supported now btw? I see a closed GitHub issue for them, which suggests they are.

[julian]

@LB Yep, they are, although they are generated only when you start the 2FA setup process, so you will want to disable 2FA, trash your record, and re-generate one. The backup codes will be displayed a single time for you to record.

When I scan this with Authy or Google Authenticator it says "QR code is invalid" no matter how many times I create a new one. Is there a fix?

[Alex Bro]

@cookieman768 The same situation(((

Plug-ins no longer work with the version «1.7.5».

[julian]

@ilya Can you elaborate on what doesn't work? Saying "no longer work" doesn't help narrow down any problems.

[Yosimoto]

@julian The problem was solved with FreeOTP Authenticator (Android).

@ilya This plugin no longer works with 1.17. Error below

[phenomlab]

I've just seen an update for this plugin. Is it compatible now ?

[julian]

v5.0.0 of the 2factor authentication plugin has been published. It now allows for concurrent second factors, so you can have both a hardware key and an authenticator app in use at the same time.

When challenged, you can use either option to verify your identity.
