Adding more than one 2FA authenticator to your account
by Povl Ole Haarlev Olsen 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hi. Now than 2FA is mandatory when logging in on the RIPE website, it would be nice if we could add more than one 2FA authenticator / TOTP generator to our account and use either when logging in. For example using either Authy on your phone or Yubico Authenticator on your computer. That way, if you lose your phone, you can still log in from your computer and revoke access from the Authy app, until you get a new phone and set up a new 2FA authenticator on it. On some other sites where you can use multiple 2FA authenticators, they even show which authenticator was used the last N times you logged in. It makes it very easy to spot, if someone has gained access to your 2FA authenticator secrets and is actively using that access. I hope, you'll consider the idea. Thanks in advance... -- Povl Ole

Dear Aleksi, Peter, and all, Thank you for your emails, currently our efforts are focused on the first phase of deploying mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA). This first phase will include functionality to migrate 2FA to a new device. The second phase is scheduled for the following quarters, and this is where we will look at expanding the authentication choices for 2FA. We will definitely consider your suggestions as we evaluate the possible options we can provide.

RIPE NCC Security Update
by Eleonora Petridou 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Dear colleagues, We would like to share some updates regarding security measures available to RIPE NCC members. We have now introduced a feature that shows LIR administrators whether or not two-factor authentication (2FA) has been enabled by users on their LIR account. This feature allows LIR administrators greater insight into the security measures being implemented within their teams. Please note that only admins have access to this feature. We have also strengthened password requirements and added a reminder to enable 2FA when users log in to their RIPE NCC Access accounts. This is an interim measure until mandatory 2FA is rolled out. Our roadmaps have been updated to expedite the rollout of mandatory two-factor authentication: https://www.ripe.net/support/documentation/quarterly-planning/business-appl… The rollout is currently planned to take place towards the end of Q1 2024. Additionally, we have increased our efforts to actively identify leaked credentials available online and to reset those passwords. The password reset process for any credentials identified as leaked through our monitoring system has been automated. We urge all members to be mindful of their password security and to enable two-factor authentication. Please follow our security recommendations: - Review your LIR account(s), restrict access to necessary personnel only and remove former employee accounts. - Make use of our new feature and ensure that all users on your account enable two-factor authentication. - If you use a password management tool, we recommend that you enable data breach monitoring for your own credentials. Kind regards, Eleonora Petridou Chief Information Security Officer RIPE NCC
