CLONE - Multi-Factor Authentication - SMS factor exploratory test

XMLWordPrintable

      This is an exploratory test of a new feature or improvement, so please feel free to try anything you like and not just the test steps!

      Prerequisites

      • This test requires admin access and access to terminal to run CLI commands, as part of the testing will lock out a user from accessing the site.
      • You will need a resource for testing SMS sending in AWS (if you are an HQ team member testing this, feel free to reach out to the Platform team who may be able to help with access to an AWS sandbox for testing).

      Troubleshooting

      IMPORTANT: If you locked yourself out, you can disable the whole MFA plugin from the CLI:

      php admin/cli/cfg.php --component=tool_mfa --name=enabled --set=0

      You can also reset user authentication factors:

      1. As admin go to Plugins > Multi-factor authentication > Reset user authentication factors
      2. Search by one user with authentication factors
      3. Click on button "Reset user factor"
