Two Factor Authentication
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Starting with Nextcloud 10, it is possible to use two factor authentication
|
|
(2FA) with Nextcloud. It is a plugin based system requiring a 2FA app.
|
|
Several 2FA apps are already available including
|
|
`TOTP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm>`_,
|
|
SMS 2-factor and `U2F <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_2nd_Factor>`_.
|
|
Developers can `built new two-factor provider apps <https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/11/developer_manual/app/two-factor-provider.html>`_.

.. TODO ON RELEASE: Update version number above on release

Enabling Two Factor Authentication
|
|
==================================
|
|
You can enable 2FA by installing and enabling a 2FA app like TOTP which works
|
|
with Google Authenticator and compatible apps. The apps are available in the
|
|
Nextcloud App store so by navigating there and clicking **enable** for the app
|
|
you want, 2FA will be installed and enabled on your Nextcloud server.

|
Once 2FA has been enabled, users have to `activate it in their personal settings. <https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/11/user_manual/user_2fa.html>`_
