Akeeba Solo has advanced
user management.
We created one user
when we installed it
but we can create more.
More importantly we can protect
our Akeeba Solo web site
using Two Factor Authentication.
TFA means something you know
and something you have
which is far stronger
than just having a password,
something you have.
If we go to the User Manager
and select our username
we can see the option to enable
two factor authentication.
There are two options
and here we are going to enable
Yubikey.
Yubikey is a USB
hardware key available
from yubico.com
Insert the yubikey
into your USB port
and click in the security code box.
Then press the gold disk
on the key and you will see a string
of characters appear.
Click save and close.
Before doing anything else
reopen that user
and you will see some emergency
one time passwords.
You MUST print this out
and keep these codes in your wallet
to use if you ever lose your key.
Once you have printed out the codes
you can save and close
and log out of Akeeba Solo.
Now if you try to login
without entering the secret code
you will fail.
To generate the code open
insert the yubikey
in your usb port
and press the gold disk.
You will now be logged in.
Please note that you can use
the same yubikey on multiple web sites.
