Following up on this forum post, is TOTP now fully implemented? I tried it out and set it up locally but it's not sending an email. Inside EmailHelper.SendOneTimeCodeEmail I see this:

if (Context.Current?.Session is null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(settings.OneTimeCodeTemplate))
            return false;

which implies the App settings class has a field called OneTimeCodeTemplate. However, the App UI for Users - Authentication doesn't show a field for that.

Am I missing something or is this not done done yet?

Imar

Hi Imar,

The OneTimeCodeTemplate field is implemented and does exist in the paragraph editor — but the entire "One-time code authentication" group is hidden when the system-wide log-on type is set to Normal. You have to switch it first under Settings → Users → Authentication → Log-on type to One-time code (TOTP) (or MFA / Magic links). After that, reload the paragraph and the "Sender name / Sender email / Email subject / One-time code email template" fields appear under the "One-time code authentication" group.

See UserAuthenticationContentModuleAddIn.GetHiddenParameterNames — it hides all OneTimeCode* and MagicLink* parameters while AuthenticationManager.GetLoginType() == LoginType.Normal.

Agreed the discoverability here is poor — there's no hint in the paragraph editor that those fields exist but are gated, and SendOneTimeCodeEmail fails silently if the template is unset. I'll log it for a UX improvement (info text on the paragraph, and a warning when the template is missing at runtime). Also noticed the default email subject for one-time code is "Your log in link", which reads like the magic-link copy — will fix.

I have changed the app so it will always show these settings as single users can have this setup
