Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 (nextcloud@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 27-Jun-2019 04:26:42 EDT Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

We joked April 1st about our new #2FA method "yes it is really me" but our 2FA does really stand out with many methods available like notification, sms, signal, telegram and more! Here's the 'admin support' option covered in a blog. https://blog.wuc.me/2018/10/08/unlock-locked-nextcloud-2fa-accounts.html

1. Unlocking Nextcloud Accounts Locked by Two-Factor Authentication
  
  from Christoph Wurst
  
  I’m happy to announce a new two-factor provider for Nextcloud: the Admin Support Provider. In contrast to the existing providers like TOTP and U2F, this provider is not meant to be set up by the users themselves. Instead, this one is used when users have lost access to their other factors and therefore the account is locked, making logins impossible. When the affected users contact the admins they can now trigger the generation of a temporary one-time code. With this code users can log in once to set up their other two-factor providers.
