Overview
This node is designed to interact with a user management system, specifically allowing the disabling of two-factor authentication (2FA) for users. Disabling 2FA can be useful in scenarios where a user has lost access to their authenticator app or device and needs to regain account access without the second factor temporarily.
A practical example would be an administrator using this node to disable 2FA for a user who cannot provide the one-time password (OTP) due to device loss, enabling them to log in again and set up 2FA anew.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| OTP | One-time password generated by the authenticator app. This is required to verify the user's identity before disabling 2FA. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the disable 2FA operation. Typically, this will include confirmation that 2FA has been disabled for the specified user or relevant status information. The exact structure depends on the underlying API response but generally confirms success or failure.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the user management system's API.
- Needs valid authentication credentials (such as an API key or token) configured within n8n to authorize the request.
- The user must provide a valid OTP from their authenticator app to proceed with disabling 2FA.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid OTP Error: If the provided OTP is incorrect or expired, the node will fail to disable 2FA. Ensure the OTP is current and correctly entered.
- Authentication Failure: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent the node from communicating with the user management system. Verify that credentials are properly set up.
- Permission Denied: The authenticated user may lack permissions to disable 2FA for other users. Check user roles and permissions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failures. Confirm network access to the API endpoint.
