How to use OTP in Soffid

Introduction

Soffid allows administrator users to config the access authentication with OTP as the second-factor authentication (2FA). This is the way to add a extra layer of protection used to ensure the security of online accounts beyond just a username and password.

The administrator user could config the proper OTP implementations that wants to use.

To know how to config the diffent options you can visit the OTP settings page.

There are three points where OTP can be used in Soffid

  1. Login Federation
  2. Access to pages
  3. XACML Rules

Federation
