Multi Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a way to protect your Hub for Teams account against unauthorized access. It works by requiring two different ‘proofs’ of your identity. For example, something you know (like a password) and something you havelike a physical key. Typically, the first factor is a password like you already have and the second can be a text message you receive or a code you generate on your phone or another device (something you have). Nextcloud supports a variety of 2nd factors and more can be added.
Login to you Hub for Teams account https://hubforteams.com/
Once logged in click on your profile picture or initials in the top right hand corner and select settings.
Configuring two-factor authentication
In your Personal Settings look up the Second-factor Auth setting. In this example this is TOTP, a Google Authenticator compatible time-based code:
You will see your secret and a QR code which can be scanned by the TOTP app on your phone (or another device). Depending on the app or tool, type in the code or scan the QR and your device will show a login code which changes every 30 seconds.
Recovery codes in case you lost your 2nd factor
You should always generate backup codes for 2FA. If your 2nd factor device gets stolen or is not working, you will be able to use one of these codes to unlock your account. It effectively functions as a backup 2nd factor. To get the backup codes, go to your Personal Settings and look under Second-factor Auth settings. Choose Generate backup codes:
