What happened to [nodebb-plugin-2factor]?

[anandkumar]

Hello NodeBB Community,

I have just installed a nodeBB forum and now trying to add 2FA. I found a few links to the plugin like these:

https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-2factor

npm: nodebb-plugin-2factor

In addition to regular authentication via username/password or SSO, a second layer of security can be configured, permitting access only if a time-based one-time password is supplied, typically generated/stored on a mobile device.

In the GitHub repo it is mentioned that the plugin is available via the "ACP/Plugins page". What does that mean? I am not able to find anything is my fresh NodeBB installation.

Am I missing something?

2factor still works perfectly fine, the only thing that occurred is that the package.json says its outdated. Too install this plugin you can use npm install nodebb-plugin-2factor in your root NodeBB folder.

Thanks @Kowlin, updating it now.

v1.1.5

I already did this. But panel seems to be weird to me. So I thought may be the plugin is not compatible with the latest version of NodeBB.

Odd, the language strings are translated for me...

Hello, I am trying to scan the QR code using Google Authenticator or Authy apps using an iphone but I am getting the error Invalid token. Is there any specific app that is needed?

[julian]

@Peter-Zoltan-Keresztes To my knowledge, I thought this bug was fixed... there are issues with GAuthenticator on iOS. Can you try with an android device?

Can you also let me know your forum name?

[anandkumar]

Hi @julian,

I have tried reinstalling the plugin but nothing happened. If i selected US English as default language enve the name (in menu) does not appears. It was just "title" I guess.

Do you need my forum url?

Thx

[julian]

Does it work fine with en_GB?

[anandkumar]

Nope.

Working fine on this forum, however is not working on my own one.

[julian]

Please update to latest master and use 2factor v1.1.6, thanks!

[anandkumar]

@julian Thanks for the update. It is almost fine, now. The only issue remained is the plugin name (in menu) itself. It is still showing as "title" with forum language en_US.

Thx.

I did that but still getting the same invalid token error.

Known issue with authenticators on iOS, waiting for upstream to fix.

[Peter-Zoltan Keresztes]

@julian Ah ok. It's good to know that is not on the nodebb side.
