OTP (Email)
OTP (Email) will be introduced as a new authentication factor.
When you select OTP (Email) in the authentication list, you will receive an OTP (8-digit number) at your pre-registered email address. By entering this OTP, you will be successfully logged in.
JAIST-SSO Flow
The flow when authenticating from an off-campus network changes.
After replacement, the authorisation list is displayed after entering the correct username and password.
There, select "OTP (Authenticator)", "OTP (Email)" or "Client Certificate" and authenticate.
The existing authentication factors 'OTP (app)', 'Client Certificate', and 'FIDO2' will continue to be available.
User Profile
The functions of self-maintenance (User Attributes Setting), password Setting and Authentication Device Setting are combined as a User Profile page.
In User Attributes Setting, you can register a password reset email address and set the items to be displayed on the multi-factor authentication factor selection screen.
The URL will be changed from the pre-update system, so please be aware.
