Increase the security of your Nextcloud with two-factor authentication (TOTP).
Add an extra layer of protection to your Nextcloud account.
Nextcloud Two-Factor Authentication with TOTP adds a verification code from an authenticator app to the login process, alongside your password.
What you can do
Use any RFC 6238 compatible authenticator app to generate your verification codes. TOTP works with apps such as Aegis and Google Authenticator, making it easy to add two-factor authentication to your existing login routine.
Require both the account password and a verification code when users sign in.
Generate TOTP codes with any RFC 6238 compatible authenticator app.
Use a new verification code as the additional factor during each login.
Administrators can make two-factor authentication optional or require it for everyone or selected groups.
If a user's usual authentication device is unavailable, backup codes provide another way to regain access to their account.
TOTP gives Nextcloud users an additional layer of account security without changing the basic login process. Users continue to sign in with their password, with a verification code providing the second factor.
Two-Factor Authentication (TOTP) comes with every CloudBased Backup plan, together with all the other Nextcloud apps — fully managed and hosted in Germany. Try the Lite plan free for 7 days.
