Hello Michael,

Maybe a solution to the problem you mentioned would be to use a personal password manager with strong encryption that also supports TOTP. At least this is what I use for a long time without any problem.

My suggestion:

Hello, 

I agree completely with the use of 2FA and do agree with the spirit of this being mandatory. However the current state of RIPE NCC MFA is not suitable to be made mandatory. Namely the TOTP requires a phone (sms) or TOTP App. I would like to see support for FIDO2 keys, if this is not possible OTP via email would be a compromise.

 

My rational for this is that some organisations do not allow phones within the office, nor have any Apps available to install on their systems. Perhaps a more generic scenario is if a phone is out of battery. I'm sure you can appreciate while I am in favour of MFA I think this must be in a different format.


 I'm aware this is a feature many have been keen for for a while. I see two ways forward: 

1) RIPE supports another method of MFA (FIDO KEYS or emailed OTP).
2) RIPE makes Mandatory MFA the choice of the LIR admin. 

I would like to hear other views on this request to the RIPE NCC.  I am not looking for suggestions for workarounds such as online TOTP or writing my own code for this.


Regards,

Michael
