# TOTP
|
|
|
|
Docspell has built-in support for two-factor (2FA) authentication
|
|
using
|
|
[TOTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-Time_Password)s.
|
|
For anything more, consider a dedicated account management tool and
|
|
[OpenID
|
|
Connect](@/docs/configure/authentication.md#openid-connect-oauth2).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
A user can enable a TOTP as a second factor in their user settings. It
|
|
is required to have some external device to hold the shared secret. A
|
|
popular way is using your phone.
|
|
|
|
In user settings, go to _Two Factor Authentication_ and click on
|
|
_Activate two-factor authentication_. This then shows you a QR code:
|
|
|
|
{{ figure2(light="totp-01.png", dark="totp-01_dark.png") }}
|
|
|
|
Open the app (or whatever you use) and scan the QR code. A new account
|
|
is created and a 6-digit code will be shown to you. Enter this code in
|
|
the box below to confirm.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot scan the QR code, click on the "eye icon" to reveal the
|
|
secret that you then need to type/copy. This secret will never be
|
|
shown again. Should you loose it (or your device where it is saved),
|
|
you cannot log in anymore. See below for how to get into your account
|
|
in this case.
|
|
|
|
Once you typed in the code, the 2FA is enabled.
|
|
|
|
{{ figure2(light="totp-02.png", dark="totp-02_dark.png") }}
|
|
|
|
When you now login, a second login form will be shown where you must
|
|
now enter a one time password from the device.
|
|
|
|
## Remove 2FA
|
|
|
|
If you go to this page with 2FA enabled (refresh the page after
|
|
finishing the setup), you can disable it. The secret will be removed
|
|
from the database.
|
|
|
|
It shows a form that allows you to disable 2FA again, but requires you
|
|
to enter a one time password.
|
|
|
|
{{ figure2(light="totp-03.png", dark="totp-03_dark.png") }}
|
|
|
|
If you have successfully disabled 2FA, you'll see the first screen
|
|
where you can activate 2FA. You can remove the account from your
|
|
device. Should you want to go back to 2FA, you need to go through the
|
|
setup again and create a new secret.
|
|
|
|
## When secret is lost
|
|
|
|
Should you loose your device where the secret is stored, you cannot
|
|
log into docspell anymore. In this case you can use the [command line
|
|
client](@/docs/tools/cli.md) to execute an admin command that removes
|
|
2FA for a given user.
|
|
|
|
For this to work, you need to [enable the admin
|
|
endpoint](@/docs/configure/admin-endpoint.md). Then execute the
|
|
`disable-2fa` admin command and specify the complete account.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ dsc admin -a test123 disable-2fa --account demo
|
|
