Re: Two Factor Authentication in SMF 2.1

[boinc-australia]

I run a forum for a Distributed Computing Team called BOINC@AUSTRALIA.  One of my members now has Two-Factor Authentication turned on in his profile but he says he did not do it.

I have tried to change it bt clicking Disable logged in as Administrator on hih Forum Profile but the screen just blinks and it does not change ??

Any help appreciated.

EDIT:  Logging in as the administrator to the user Profile I can see the disable button but the screen just blinks when I click the disable button.  It sats at the top of the page that a password is required to change the data but there is no where to enter a password.  I have tried the verify password field but that did nothing.  The User is now unable to login as it presents a box for him to put the authorization code into and it has not been setup so the user is left with nothing he can do.

I have split your post into its own topic and moved it to the correct board. A friendly support volunteer should be along in a bit to help you.

When I fooled around with this to test something I reported as a bug ( May even be related, so #7699 ) I noticed, that in order to disable it for someone else, you need to have 2FA active yourself.
Have you enabled 2FA for your profile?

I changed a test user to be an admin then turned on two factor authentication on it and it could change the user profile to disable two factor authentication.


In order to be able to disable a users 2FA, the admin MUST have 2FA set up as well -

Marking solved then, the bug report is still open and available on Github.
