TOTP (2FA)

TOTP two-factor authentication is available for local accounts only. OIDC and LDAP users rely on their identity provider for MFA.

User opt-in

Users can enable TOTP for their own account:

  1. Log in and go to Profile → Two-Factor Authentication.
  2. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Aegis, etc.).
  3. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm and activate.

Admin enforcement

Enforcement is per-user, not a global config option. An admin can require a specific user to use TOTP by enabling the TOTP Required flag when creating or editing that user under Admin → Users → Edit.

When the flag is set, the user is redirected to the enrollment page on their next login and cannot proceed until they have configured an authenticator. A user cannot disable TOTP on their own account while the flag is enforced.

Recovery

If a user loses access to their authenticator, an admin can disable TOTP for their account via Admin → Users → Edit.
