Account authenticator for Elite
Is it possible to use TOTP authenticator app for Elite accounts like other games?
Would be nice to be able to use FreeOTP App to secure my account.
Incase you don't know what TOTP is, it is a temporal (typically 30 second window) HOTP key generator, using a SHA-n (SHA-1 typically) of a shared secret to make a one time password extension (appended onto the end) or as a secondary login challenge. All specced in an RFC so it is quite standardised.
FreeOTP is an open source authenticator that implements TOTP/HOTP, and has QR code support allowing quick shared secret and TOTP configuring on the client with the account on the server. I use it on Android. Does the same thing as Google/Steam/Microsoft authenticators. Same algorithm (TOTP usually).
This would/could be entirely optional so those that do not with to use it, don't have to, those that do, can.
Many of my accounts use TOTP authentication including games such as Guild Wars 2 and others. Just like Steam uses it.
I would like to secure my accounts with TOTP.
Typically we append the OTP to the end of the existing password as a temporal variance to the password as a separate input field challenge after we enter the password (usually both formats are supported).
