OTP settings (addon otp)

Definition

The OTP settings allow the administrator users to configure the available OTP options. Soffid provides six different OTP implementations.

This page is available if you have previously installed the Soffid OTP add-on.

Configure these options as a second authentication factor in the Soffid identity provider. Remember that this functionality is found in the federation add-on.
