2FA/OTP Config

The 2FA/OTP Config Module

The user_2fa_otp_config module provides opt-in, configuration, and viewing of Two-Factor Authentication via One-Time-Password (2FA/OTP) settings. In order to allow users access to 2FA/OTP, the system must be properly configured. See Security for more information.

:information_source: By default, the 2FA/OTP configuration menu may only be accessed by users connected securely (ACS SC). It is highly recommended to leave this default as accessing these settings over a plain-text connection could expose private secrets!
