How to enable plugins

Created on 17 October 2024, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Help with enabling plugins like Microsoft or Google Authenticor

Steps to reproduce

The documentation is pretty limited and only covers how to install the module. Does anyone have any additional resources for how to enable a plugin so that this works with Microsoft or Google Authenticator?

    Basic TFA configuration details are documented in the README. https://git.drupalcode.org/project/tfa/-/blob/8.x-1.x/README.md#tfa-conf...

    I will admit they are not significantly in depth, however the majority of the TFA options are self-documenting on the setup page while the dependcy (KEY/Encrypt) may need reference to their documentation.

    so that this works with Microsoft or Google Authenticator?

    If you are asking for the app side this would usually be documented by the app maintainer.

    From a TFA side the most important aspect is which plugins you enable. Time Based tokens are the TOTP plugin while counter based are the HOTP plugin.

    I believe the Microsoft app only supports TOTP while Google Authenticator I believe supports both types.

    TOTP is likely the most common used plugin type among deployed sites, however the choice of plugin is left to admins based on their needs. Counter based are most useful for systems that do not have a reliable clock which is rare in a web based environment.

    It may help to indicate a specific question
