TOTP
Requirements
Linux Control Center: version 2.12.X or higher
TOTP Authentication Application (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
Overview
The Linux Control Center (LCC) allows you to configure two-factor authentication (2FA) through a TOTP application. This functionality increases security when accessing the Management Console.
Objective
This document aims to guide the process of enabling 2FA in user accounts with access to the LCC Console.
How to Enable TOTP in an LCC Access Account
Access the LCC and click on Config in the left side menu.
Click on User.
Select the user for whom you want to activate TOTP.
Click on the TOTP option to open the registration QR code.
Scan the QR Code displayed using your preferred authenticator app.
hint: To disable TOTP, simply click on the TOTP option again and enter your username and password to confirm the operation.
After saving the code, simply log in normally using your enabled authentication method and then the six-digit code.
Additional Tips
Keep the recovery code, if provided, in a safe place.
If you lose your authenticator device, contact your system administrator to reset 2FA authentication or, if you are logged in, reset the TOTP configuration for your user.
