Integration with vBulletin - [DBTech] Two-Factor Authentication (vB4)

Two-Factor Authentication lets you ensure only trusted networks have access to your account, by using your smartphone to validate login attempts from new IP addresses.


Why use Two-Factor Authentication?

The most common form of "hacking" a forum today is someone guessing or in some other way gaining access to the password to an administrator account. Even with password protection on your AdminCP and ModCP directory, irreparable harm can be done with an administrator account without needing to log in to any of these locations. Enabling two-factor authentication ensures that only trusted networks can access the accounts of your staff as well as your members.

Our two-factor authentication mod uses Google Authenticator to pair a member's forum account with their smartphone app. A "Recovery Key" shown on-screen during setup ensures that if a member should ever lose their phone, they can regain access to their account.

I am not able to replicate any issues with it, it works perfectly fine @ our site.

I've installed it fine on 4.2.5. The only suggestion is a way for it to work per trusted device as those not on a static IP will have to re-authenticate every session.

One of my users installed it but lost his phone and doesn't have the recovery key.

As the website administrator, is there a way I can remove it from his account?

This happened with one of my users a few days ago, I had to remove the values in the dbtech_twofactor_secret & dbtech_twofactor_recovery fields for that user in the user database table to get him back in.

If you post over at dragonbyte's support forum they may have a better way.

Alright thanks, so it's in the table users ?

[z3r0]

Yes, I cleared the values in the "dbtech_twofactor_secret" & "dbtech_twofactor_recovery" fields in the "user" table for that member.

[fortforum]

Such a feature would be extremely nice to have access to from admincp.

[Sforums]

Uninstalled.

Using vb 4.1.0 - "Two factor Authentication" nowhere to be seen under "My Account"

[wolfe]

is it possible to make this so it pops up on every login and not just on new IPs ?
