Account Management

CompleteFTP users can access some basic account management features via the Account Management web-app. Users can do the following:

• See their username
• Change their password (if allowed)
• See their home folder (and navigate to the file manager)
• Set up a new device for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) if it's enabled
• View and regenerate backup codes for TFA if it's enabled

Changing Password

If the password policy of the server allows passwords to be changed then a link labelled 'change password'. When pressed the user is taken to a page where they can change their password. They must enter their existing password as well as their desired new password.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

To reduce the workload for administrators, users are able to register new devices and access backup codes via the Account Management web-app. This is only possible if 2FA is enabled for the site and the user, otherwise the 2FA section isn't shown on the account management home page.

Setting up a new device for 2FA

This is done using the same page that users use to activate their first device.

2FA backup codes

As described here, backup PINs are one-time passwords that users can use in place of the PINs generated on the device. Ten backup PINs are generated the first time the user visits the backup PIN page. The user should keep these in a secure place. PINs will be removed from the list as they're used. New PINs can be generated by clicking the 'Get new PINs' button.
