A command line utility, videx-twofactor, is installed on CyberAudit-Web servers with version 9.4 or later. It may be used to generate a one-time password for a login in the event their authenticator service is not available and they have no backup codes.
It can also disable two-factor authentication for the entire system or for an individual account. This may be needed if a TopLevel administrator fails to enable two-factor authentication for their login by the grace period date. This would allow that administrator to log in, re-enable two factor authentication, and then enable it for their login.
When run at the command line, it provides these instructions.
