            ^ Here is a related but distinct use case: ((PluginTOTP)) ^


New in ((Tiki21)), it allows to enable Two-factor Authentication in order to massively increase the security of user accounts during their authentication.

It use [https://packagist.org/packages/pragmarx/google2fa|pragmarx/google2fa], which is a PHP implementation of the Google Two-Factor Authentication Module, supporting the HMAC-Based One-time Password (HOTP) algorithm specified in [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4226|RFC 4226] and the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm specified in [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238|RFC 6238]. So you can use any app that supports TOTP, and there areany options on [https://search.f-droid.org/?q=totp&lang=en|F-Droid].

With this feature, users combine their Username and Password to another authentication factor, an ephemeral secret code, when logging into Tiki, This third authentication factor (Secret Code) will be provided by Google Authenticator® app.
