Two factor authentication
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Each user can enable the [two factor authentication](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_factor_authentication).
|
||||
After a successful login, a one-time code (6 characters) is asked to the user to allow the access to Kanboard.
|
||||
|
||||
This code have to be provided by a compatible software generally installed on your smartphone.
|
||||
|
||||
Kanboard use the [Time-based One-time Password Algorithm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm) defined in the [RFC 6238](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238).
|
||||
|
||||
There are many software compatible with the standard TOTP system.
|
||||
By example, you can use these free and open source applications:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Google Authenticator](https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/) (Android, iOS, Blackberry)
|
||||
- [FreeOTP](https://fedorahosted.org/freeotp/) (Android, iOS)
|
||||
- [OATH Toolkit](http://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/) (Command line utility on Unix/Linux)
|
||||
|
||||
This system can work offline and you don't necessary need to have a mobile phone.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
3. A secret key is generated for you
