One-Time passcode: the advantages of HOTP/TOTP

We are happy to announce that Thinfinity® Workspace now supports 2FA natively in all its editions.

Thinfinity now counts with a built-in HTOP/TOTP server that enables you the advantage to add an extra layer of security to your projects using free and paid 3rd party Identity platforms.

Supported platforms:

• Google Authenticator
• DUO Mobile
• Microsoft Authenticator
• Okta Verify

Now you can enable an authentication experience to your environment that is accepted by all the most popular Cybersecurity frameworks.

To configure the One-Time passcode on Thinfinity® Workspace, you will have to add the authentication method on the tab ‘Authentication’, go to the tab ‘2FA’, and add the option ‘TOTP’.

 

 

If you want to make the Second Factor Authentication compatible with Google Authenticator, check the ‘Google Authenticator Compatible’ checkbox.

 

You can also specify which authentication method you will use on the tab ‘Methods’:

 

Click on ‘Apply’ after you finish configuring all available options.

If the user lost access to its Second-step Code Generate App and needs to be reset, this can be done from the Server Manager.

If the user needs help remembering his username, it can be verified by using the ‘I don’t have access to my authentication device’ button.
