Getting Locked out of system when Google Authenticator Two Factor
Authentication is enabled for login. There is no option in the login screen to
enter OTP verification code, so cant login to the system once logout. Two
Factor Authentication is an essential feature since there is rise in XOR DDOS
Attacks and also it is necessary for all organisations switching to linux
desktop to secure their systems from unauthorised access. We added Google Two
Factor Authentication because our systems are affected with XOR DDOS Attacks.
I am giving more details about XOR DDOS here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2022/05/19/rise-in-xorddos-a-deeper-look-at-the-stealthy-ddos-malware-targeting-linux-devices/
If we dont put Two Factor Authentication our systems are constantly brute
forced by attackers and gaining access. So Two Factor Authentication is
essential for the security of the system.
Also other UI's for system update etc are affected by this bug which will not
ask for OTP Verification code.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Google Authenticator OTP
2. Log out and Log In Again
3. Cant find option to enter OTP verification code gets locked out of system
OBSERVED RESULT
Gets Locked out and cant gain access to system.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should show textfield to enter OTP verification code.
