Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung¶
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a way to improve security, and prevent unauthorized persons from accessing user accounts.
Practically, 2FA means storing a secret inside an authenticator, usually on a mobile phone, and exchanging a code from the authenticator when trying to log in.
This means an unauthorized user would need to guess the account password and have access to the authenticator, which is a more difficult proposition.

Bemerkung
The remainder of this document uses Google Authenticator as an example, as it is one of the most commonly used. This is not an endorsement of the product.
Two-factor authentication setup¶
After selecting an authenticator, log in to Odoo, then click the profile avatar in the upper-right corner, and select My Profile from the resulting drop-down menu.
Click the Account Security tab, then slide the Two-Factor Authentication toggle to active.
This generates a Security Control pop-up window that requires password confirmation to continue. Enter the appropriate password, then click Confirm Password. Next, a Two-Factor Authentication Activation pop-up window appears, with a QR code.
Using the desired authenticator application, scan the QR code when prompted.
Tipp
If scanning the screen is not possible (e.g. the setup is being completed on the same device as the authenticator application), clicking the provided Cannot scan it? link, or copying the secret to manually set up the authenticator, is an alternative.
Afterwards, the authenticator should display a verification code.
Enter the code into the Verification Code field, then click Activate.
Anmelden¶
To confirm 2FA setup is complete, log out of Odoo.
On the login page, input the username and password, then click Log in. On the Two-factor Authentication page, input the code provided by the chosen authenticator in the Authentication Code field, then click Log in.
Gefahr
If a user loses access to their authenticator, an administrator must deactivate 2FA on the account before the user can log in.
