Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to a Webmin account.
When enabled, the user must enter a one-time authentication token—usually
generated by an app, a hardware OTP device, or sent via SMS.
This page allows you to select an authentication provider for Webmin users
on your system. Once enabled, each user can enroll for two-factor
authentication in the "Webmin Users" module. The available two-factor
providers are:
-
TOTP Authenticator
This is a desktop or smartphone app that
implements the standard TOTP protocol. Each user must scan a QR code using
the app to link their tokens with the Webmin server.
-
Authy
This is a commercial service that provides a smartphone app and
website for managing two-factor users. Each user must create an account on
Authy's website and link it to their smartphone.
