In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Display settings on a PageHi
I don’t think that’s a very good idea, userprofile settings belong on the userprofile page.Imagine how confusing it would be to find your way around in WordPress if every WordPress plugin did what you propose.

In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Lost Authenticator PW…FTP/SSH into your account and delete the folder containing the plugin,
that would be the:
wp-content/plugins/google-authenticator
folder.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Need a way to customize time driftLet’s not treat the symptom but the cause.
Email your webhosting support and have them install a NTP deamon, or otherwise provide accurate time on the server hosting your blog.
If they don’t like to have a NTP daemon running, running ntpdate once an hour would also solve the time drift problem.Best regards

In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Need a way to customize time driftHi chimericdream
I should get your webhost to install a NTP daemon on the server.
This way your servers time will become accurate.Best regards

In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Login not working from time to timeHmm well if the webhost doesn’t keep the time accurate I would ask them to do so.
But it could be your phone as well, or perhaps a conflict with the plugin you mentioned. Did you try disabling it ?Btw important info: It’s the servers UTC time that has to match the phone UTC time. All calculations in the Authenticator app and my plugin are performed using UTC time.

In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Login not working from time to timeI guess it depends on your locale settings, on my webhost I have
TZ=Europe/Copenhagen (server is in the US)
Causing all my date/time settings to be displayed in Denmark time.Perhaps some tiny PHP script displaying the time is better.

In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Login not working from time to timeHi
I would create a support ticket at the webhost, asking to have an openntp daemon installed.btw how did you check the time at the server ?

In reply to: [Google Authenticator] Login not working from time to timeHi _OMEGA_
It could be caused by in inaccurate clock on your server or phone.
Best regards
Henrik SchackI’ll add that to my todo list, thanks
Best regards
Henrik SchackOk thanks a lot, if I ever change my mind, you’ll be the first to know.
Btw it’s not possible to purchase the Paypal token in Denmark, I’ve been asking Paypal support for it for years without any luck 🙁
Best regards
Henrik SchackHi Pete
This plugin is not aiming at übergeeks, I created it in order for normal people to be able to secure their WordPress login with a technology they probably already know from Dropbox, Lastpass, Amazon Google, Guild Wars 2 etc.
These hardware tokens are so “not normal” I haven’t even seen them for sale anywhere here in DenmarkI think it’s vital to keep things as simple as possible.
Supporting this plugin, without owning an iPhone is a pain, supporting it without owning one of all these hardware tokens would be pure hell 🙂
Therefore : I wont add support for hardware tokens.Btw. I don’t know that many people ever leaving home without their phone.
Best regards
Henrik SchackHi Heypete
Sorry, but I really don’t see the point of cluttering up the userinterface in order to support some hardware token, when there is a completely free app from Google available.I have intentions of turning this plugin into some switch army knife plugin supporting multiple ways of authenticating.
The Google Authenticator app seems to be the right choice, as you probably are aware, more and more services are adapting the Google Authenticator app these days.Best regards
Henrik SchackHi Sean Donovan
As mentioned, I’ll change the default, that will happpen the next time I release an update.
This will probably solve this “critical bug” for you and SemperFideles, but new critical bugs will be created by people still creating descriptions containing spaces and using an iPhone.
Then I could silently remove any entered space characters before creating the QR code, and people would start complaining about that.The right way to solve this issue, is to have it fixed at the root.
Google created the Google Authenticator App for IOS and Android, Google created the app in way that it behaves differently depending on if you’re using an iPhone or an Android phone.Best regards
