2FA Access to GUI (admin) - regain access when token lost?

[Mks]

Hi,

I plan to use 2FA for access to the opnsense GUI (administrative tasks).
What is the procedure to regain access if the token generator is lost?

Hi,

My personal preference is to have either:

SSH key access to the box for an administrator

and/or:

Unlock console while physically restricting access

In both cases the root menu will offer you to reset the admin root password and will turn off other types of authentication to gain GUI access back.


Cheers,
