Thanks for your reply Mikhail, when I enable the Grade period, it's possible to activate the Authenticator app as an admin. That did the job.
Hi Alain,
This seems to be a matter of MFA configuration. Grace period can be used to give other users some time to configure their Authenticator app. Also User capability and Role Factor can help to let some users pass MFA if they are not suppose to have Authenticator app. Please have a look at the doc to get more details on factors and how they can be used to get your target use case https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-tool_mfa#authentication-factors
Kind regards,
Mikhail
I have a question how to activate MFA for a group of administrators, if I activate myself with the Authenticator app, the other admins get an error that they're not allowed to login. Is there a way to activate MFA in a batch (with a script or query)?
Hi all,
The plugin should be compatible with version up to and including 3.11. While we have not internally deployed this plugin to any 3.10 or 3.11 sites internally, It has been validated by automated tools to work. Feel free to install and play with the plugin on 3.10, and reach out on github if you have any issues!
Thanks,
Peter
After reading the description and features, this sounds like exactly what I need. However, I need to confirm that it works with Moodle 3.10+. Can someone confirm this?
bigo soft, Did you hear a response to your question?

Using moodle 3.10. The plugin is installed. I do not see any option to setup the security questions for auth. How am I supposed to do that? The documents were of no help..."
I plan to install this plug-in for Moodle 3.10v and want to confirm it is a viable option before I run it? Does anyone have related experience to share?

Hello everyone. This is a great plugin we need. I'd like to confirm if this will work on Moodle version 3.10?
Hi, after I switch on the MFA module an error occur when I attempt to login in to moodle. FYI I am using a customise moodle (Edumy by Cocoon) template that I purchase online. I contact the vendor they recommend that I contact the developer of the plugin. Is there a way to disable the plugin without access to the GUI as I am not able to login.
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: page layout file [dirroot]/theme/edumy/layout/ccn_minimal.php does not contain the main content placeholder, please include "<?php echo $OUTPUT->main_content() ?>" in theme layout file.
Hi Hui Jillain,
Yes, Moodle 3.9 is supported. The doc needs to be updated
Cheers
Whoops, I downloaded and installed Moodle 3.9. Would this Multi-factor authentication still support it? If not, do I need to uninstall then download 3.8 below at least or any other way? Thank you so much.
You may find it under user preference
i.e at http://yourdomain.tld/admin/tool/mfa/user_preferences.php
If you don't find it, mention you moodle version here please.
I set-up the plugin with just TOTP authentication but I can't find the TOTP Factor Setup to add my device. Any help ?
It is possible to automatically generate a code for set-up for users uploaded by csv ?
Thanks in advance.
hi, sorry to interrupt. May I know how to change the text in the email that sent to user? I try to edit the file "factor_email.php" under "admin/tool/mfa/factor/email/templates/en/lang", but it did not take any effect. Please advise. Thanks for your help first.
