0.2.7-i it is!

And 0.2.7-j, we just updated.

This reminds me of a counting thread, just with really fancy formatting

@scottalanmiller Are you using 2FA now with this as well Scott?

Not yet, but expect to start soon as we start using it more.

I currently setup 2FA. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I like the extra security.
-
@pmoncho Great to see it's working well, defiantly worth the added security.

What 2FA system do you use with it?
-
@scottalanmiller I believe it's the Google Authenticator.
-
For 2FA, I use Authy.
Agree w @pmoncho easy, peazy setup! -

Yep, Google Authenticator. I think it actually took about 90 seconds to setup. I did it on a test account first to make sure it would work.

Nice. I've been using Authy for that. (Made by Twilio). I don't have mine available outside my house yet. Will set up 2FA when I do.

FYI. On latest version of MeshCentral, if you enable 2 factor authentication you also get the option to generate and use one-time tokens now. Good backup in case you drop your phone.
-
@Ylian that's good, very useful.
-
Up to 0.2.7-l
-
Wow, lept to 0.2.7-n
-
Published v0.2.7-o with support for Yubikey's, USB authentication keys. Probably more fixes to do, but it seems to work.
-
@Ylian How is auto-update supposed to work? I have to update manually.

Speaking of Yubi-key - have you heard of SQRL? https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm
They have an API now that's supposed to make it a lot easier to implement into webservers.It's not 100% officially released to the world yet, but it's damned close, and a few sites are already using it.
I hope you'll give it a shot. (and same goes for ML).
