Joomla User Login needs secret key - How to remove?
authentication, joomla, key
Solution
Two factor authentication is a new feature in Joomla 3.2.
If you have not set a 'Secret Key' for a user:
- Go to Extensions > Plugin Manager
- Set the Select Type filter to twofactorauth
- You'll see two plugins enabled - Google and Yobikey - change their status to Disabled. A red X icon will show up
- Clear the Joomla Cache
If you have actually set a key to your admin user, then there is no way out of it other than to go back to your last backup file.
Known bugs:
- There was a bug Joomla 3.2, and this is fixed in Joomla v3.2.1
- There is also a bug in the Gangry-framework with Joomla v3.2.1 (http://www.gantry-framework.org/) Which will be handeled by their development team.
You can now select in the plugin(s) to disable users (FrontEnd) from seeing the Secret Key but keep administrator login Secret Key.
Problem
My Joomla Login Module asks for a "Secret Key". (Joomla Version 3.2.1) This is confusing, was not necessary before. Can this be removed? This is my demo website: - http://bierbrouwland.be/bier/ It's all about beer. Might be helpfull ;-) Thanks for the help!
