6. Before submitting the OTP Email MFA Authenticator, you may click on Send Test Email to verify your Email configuration (See Figure 9)

Figure 9: Send Test Email

7. Once all configurations have been inspected and tested, you may submit the OTP Email MFA Authenticator to Enable it. Once enabled, users will be able to enable MFA individually in their User profile.

8. Optionally, you may also activate all users to use OTP Email MFA Authenticator by default by adding their username as entries into the dir_user_meta table. 

Here's an SQL query where you can do so :

insert into dir_user_meta (username, meta_key, meta_value) 
    select username,'OTP_EMAIL','enabled' 
    from dir_user t1
    where not exists(
        select id 
        from dir_user_meta t2
        where t2.username = t1.id
    );

9. This query will add all the existing users in the dir_user table into the dir_user_meta table with the following values :

username : <username>

meta_key : OTP_EMAIL

meta_value : enabled

The "where not exist" clause is to check and skip for existing users already having otp enabled.

Joget authentication will automatically check if the user exists in this table and prompt them with the "please enter OTP" message.

Steps for Users

1. Users can activate OTP Email MFA Authenticator in their respective user profiles by clicking the "Activate" button. (See Figure 10)

Figure 10: Activate button

2. Before activating OTP Email MFA Authenticator, users should make sure that a valid and working email has been registered in their profile under the User Details section as the email containing the OTP will be sent to this registered email.

3. A popup dialog will appear showing a Password field to submit the email OTP sent to the user. If the code is valid, OTP Email MFA will be activated (See Figure 11).

4. The users should always remember to save their user profile after activating MFA.

5. On subsequent logins, the users will be prompted for an OTP password which will always be sent to the user's email.

Deactivating Multi-Factor Authentication

1. As a user, you can disable OTP Email MFA Authenticator by clicking on the Deactivate button in your user profile. (See Figure 12)

Figure 12: Deactivate 

2. Administrators can also disable MFA for a specific user by selecting the Setup Users under Users in the admin bar and clicking on the Deactivate MFA button. (See Figure 13)

Figure 13 :Deactivate MFA button 

Disable the Deactivate MFA button for all users in their profile section

1. Administrator can hide/(disable) the Deactivate MFA button from all users profile section to prevent users from individually disabling the MFA.
2. To achieve this, you can add this css to the application UI that you want to hide the button from at UI Builder > Settings > Configure [theme name] > Custom CSS
   

.form-input.deactivate .form-button.btn.button[value='Deactivate']{
  display: none !important;
}

Figure 13 : Apply Custom CSS in UI Builder > Settings > Configure [theme name] > Custom CSS

3.Expected outcome on the implementation of the CSS code:
The Deactivate MFA button is hidden/disabled for the user to access nor view it.

Figure 14 : Expected outcome > Deactivate MFA button is not visible
