TwoFactor WHS

Experience Level: Expert

TwoFactor WHS works with a hardware authentication dongle called a Yubikey, which slots into your USB port and provides a unique authentication code each time it is inserted in a computer.

TwoFactor WHS works by modifying the remote access logon page for the WHS site to contain an additional textbox that can take a one time password from the token. It also adds code to the page such that when the submit button is clicked, the OTP is first validated against a Yubikey validation server, and if this fails, the normal password which is en route to the WHS password handling, gets shredded and becomes unusable.

Developer: Graham Murray

    Thanks for this add-in! Since I like to access my documents online often, it makes me feel a lot more secure with my server and personal data.

    Be warned, once your server is updated with Power Pack 3, you might have to re-install this to re-enable it.
