Resolution: Fixed
Hello,
It would be awesome if you could give users the option to protect their Bitbucket account by using a two-factor authentication system.
It would be epic if you used the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm specified in RFC 6238(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238) so it would work with Google Authenticator app for just about every mobile platform.
Thanks for providing a great service!
Happy Holidays.
On a basic level, a user enters a password or a secret question into a text box on the access control panel. The system checks this against a pre-defined list of known authorized users. If the answer matches the required parameters, an access token is then generated, and the user is granted access to the requested information. The key advantages of using this form of platform two factor authentication https://www.protectimus.com/platform/ are that it is very easy to implement in various systems, and also requires minimal training for employees. It is also considerably cheaper compared to other forms of authorization, as the central database and servers for storing the tokens are not required.
