The Generate Authenticator App URI action generates the URI information required for users to initiate two-factor authentication (2FA) using mobile applications such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. This URI can be displayed as a QR code or entered manually. For the action to work, the necessary 2FA configurations must first be made through the Configuration Manager module, where the system generates and stores a user-specific secret key. When triggered by an OnClick trigger, this action, which is linked to a button such as ‘Start 2FA’, generates a user-specific URI and displays it as a QR code, usually as a one-time code.
Technical Features
1. Adding the Generate Authenticator App Uri Action
2. Configuring Parameters
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.
Technical Risks and Precautions
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.
