Get one-time code for user¶
General information¶
The “Get One-Time Code for User” step is used to generate and send a one-time code for logging in as part of two-factor authentication. This step works in conjunction with the “Confirm One-Time Code for User” step and is usually applied using the “Send Templated Notification” functionality.
Parameters¶
Step Settings:
| Setting Field | Value Options | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Step name | - | Name of the step |
| Source step | - | Selecting the previous step |
| User name | - | Name or ID of the user for whom the code is generated |
| Client for request | - | Client or application that initiates the confirmation request |
| Code life time | - | The lifetime of a code |
Cases¶
- Two-Factor Authentication: Used to provide an extra layer of security when logging in by generating a temporary code that the user must confirm.
- Enhanced Login Security: Suitable for scenarios where enhanced security measures are required to prevent unauthorized access to the system.
Exceptions¶
- Dependency on Accuracy of User Data: The accuracy and relevance of user information is critical for the successful generation and sending of a one-time code.
- Code Lifetime Management: You must configure the code lifetime correctly to ensure that your code is up-to-date and avoid user access issues.
Application scenario¶
The component adds a new string definition ForTestCode. A dataflow is created where a one-time code for the user is obtained through Get action model and Get user info steps. The Execute script step is used to pass this code into the new_code variable, which is then stored in the ForTestCode definition of the component and displayed in a modal window.
