1. Adding the Generate Authenticator App Uri Action

• Log in to the Kuika platform.
• Open your project from the Apps screen.
• Go to the UI Design module.
• Create the element that will initiate URI generation (e.g., ‘Start 2FA’ button).

• Select the button and add the Authorisation > Generate Authenticator App URI action from the + ADD ACTION menu according to the desired trigger event (Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur, etc.).

2. Configuring Parameters

• User Name (String- Required): The username or email address of the user for whom the URI will be created.

• It is usually defined using data sources such as Action Result, Current, Form Component, Screen Input, or Fixed, and can be linked via the Symbol Picker.

When a user clicks the ‘Start 2FA’ button in the application, the system generates an Authenticator URI for them and displays it on the screen as a QR code. The user scans this QR code with the authentication app on their phone to complete the 2FA process.

• Element: ‘Start 2FA’ button
• Trigger: OnClick
• Action: Authorisation → Generate Authenticator App URI
• User Name: Current.email (taken from the user's email address form field)

• QR Code Display: Link the generated URI to a QR Code component to make it scannable by the user.
• Form Integration: By integrating with the user form, 2FA setup can be performed immediately after account creation.

Technical Risks and Precautions

• Invalid User: If the User Name parameter belongs to a user not defined in the system, URI generation will fail.
• Privacy: After the URI is generated, it should be a temporary process specific only to that user. It should not be shared with others.

Generate Authenticator App Uri is a critical security component that allows users to link their accounts with authentication applications. In Kuika applications, this action simplifies 2FA setup and enhances application security. It offers a flexible and robust authentication infrastructure with QR code integration and user-based URI generation.
