Usage

Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) are useful as an additional means of authentication. This module allows them to be used with Tryton.

Viewing and changing user TOTP settings

Your user TOTP settings can be found under the TOTP tab in your preferences. You can also view and change TOTP settings for Users in the normal way.

Using time-based one-time passwords

There are plenty of TOTP apps available for both Android and iOS that can be used with this module. The TOTP secret needs to be shared between Tryton and your authenticator app. Apps will often have a way of reading the TOTP secret using a QR code. This module supports this if you have the right Python packages installed. More information on this is available in the Installation guide.

Updating the TOTP secret

Your TOTP secret is found in the TOTP tab in your preferences. Here the secret can be manually changed if required, or the Update Secret button can be used to create a new random TOTP secret. You can then use the QR Code, if available, to re-share the secret with your authenticator app.
