Does Discourse allow OTP-based signups? Or is it strictly through a link only?
AI-generated summary
MihirR asks whether Discourse supports One-Time Password (OTP) based signups or if registration is strictly limited to link-based methods. sandra.mccollum responds that while she is unsure of the native capabilities, she is interested in implementing a solution using a Node.js application to perform whitelisted email checks and utilize magic.link to send 6-digit codes for authorized user entry, a method she already uses for static HTML sites. She asks if anyone has implemented a similar integration with Discourse. supermathie seeks clarification on the technical definition of OTP, asking if the user refers to single-factor authentication via HOTP or TOTP. sandra.mccollum clarifies that she specifically meant magic.link OTP via email combined with Discourse Connect.
I don’t know the answer, however I would like to have a node js app that performed a whitelisted email check, if valid called magic.link, and sent the 6-dgiti code to that email address for authorized user entry to the discourse site. Anyone done this around discourse, I do so with my static html sites.
Do you mean single factor authentication via HOTP or TOTP?
I meant magic.link OTP via email, and Discourse Connect
