2FA device settings

You can manage the devices that you use for 2-Factor-Authentication with the liquid-bundle. For example you might want to change devices, if you get a new mobile phone or add a second device to authenticate with. To open the settings click the "2FA settings" button on the homepage.

2FA Settings

You will see a list of devices that are currently registered. The device named like your username is the first device you registered when logging in. You have three options to manage your devices.

2FA device list

Change device

Click the change device button.

Change device form

Then enter your current password, a valid OTP-Token (form one of your registered devices) and a name for the new device. After clicking change, you will be redirected and a new QR code is presented to you.

QR Code 2FA

Use this QR-Code to register a new Account in your OTP-App on the new device. After that enter a token from the new device to complete the change.

Be careful: This will remove all devices from the list, but the new one. All other devices won't work for authentication afterwards.

Add new device

Click the add new device button. Enter your password, a valid OTP token and a name for your new device.

Add 2FA device form

After clicking "Add" you will be redirected to a QR-Code again, that you can use to register the account in your App.

If you look at the 2FA settings again, after adding a new device you should see two devices in the list.

2FA multiple devices

Remove device

Click the "Remove devices" button.

2FA remove device form

Enter your password and a valid OTP-Token from any of your devices.

Be careful: All the devices but the one you use to create that OTP-token are deleted from the list and won't work afterwards!
