Limits and Lockout of Two-Factor Authentication
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A second factor is meant to protect users if their password is somehow leaked
|
||||||
|
or guessed. However, some factors could still be broken by brute force. For
|
||||||
|
this reason, users will be locked out after too many failed 2nd factor login
|
||||||
|
attempts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For TOTP, 8 failed attempts will disable the user's TOTP factors. They are
|
||||||
|
unlocked when logging in with a recovery key. If TOTP was the only available
|
||||||
|
factor, admin intervention is required, and it is highly recommended to require
|
||||||
|
the user to change their password immediately.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since FIDO2/Webauthn and recovery keys are less susceptible to brute force
|
||||||
|
attacks, the limit there is higher (100 tries), but all second factors are
|
||||||
|
blocked for an hour when exceeded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An admin can unlock a user's Two-Factor Authentication at any time via the user
|
||||||
|
list view in the web UI, or using the command line:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
proxmox-backup-manager user tfa unlock joe@pve
