Linux Control Center: version 2.12.X or higher
TOTP Authentication Application (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
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.
This document aims to guide the process of enabling 2FA in user accounts with access to the LCC Console.
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.
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.
