Introduction

2FA is a way to add additional security to your account. It is called "two-factor-authentication" because two verification methods are used to access your account. The first "factor" is your usual password that is standard for any account. The second "factor" is a verification code retrieved from a 2FA application either from your computer or mobile device. For more details about 2FA and its importance, please visit the following article.


Activate 2FA

To activate your 2FA plugin, access your LimeSurvey instance, and activate it from your Plugin Manager:

  • Digits: The number of digits the resulting codes will be. Please leave it at 6 for Google Authenticator.
  • TimePeriod: The number of seconds a code will be valid. If you use Google Authenticator, please leave it to 30.
  • Discrepancy: The amount of discrepancy is allowed for the client after the TimePeriod expires (seconds)
  • Algorithm: The algorithm used to generate a hash:
    • SHA1 (Default)
    • SHA256
    • MD5
  • Force 2FA: If you enable it, all instance users have to create a 2FA token after they log in again into the LimeSurvey instance.

Don't forget to click on "Save" after updating your 2FA configuration.
