I've had a few questions about the new Google Authenticator blank on the login
screen for the AUXCOMM website. This is an optional field to add two-factor
authentication (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_authentication) to
your account to help harden the site. It's not a requirement for use but is
highly encouraged (especially for those of us that have admin access to the
site).
Google Authenticator is an app that runs on your smartphone (Android and iOS)
to provide a cryptographically-generated number to authenticate you into the
system. This, in addition to your username and password, provides a more-
secure login (something you know and something you have).
You can download the app from the app store for your device and activate it
for the website in your profile (https://auxcomm.k3cal.org/wp-admin/profile.php). If you have any problems or questions please let me know!
