Make it obvious that an app password is needed to login when 2FA is enabled

  • /e/ version: all
  • Device model(s): all

Summary

Description

What is the current behavior?

For now, the user can't know the Account Manager doesn't support 2FA and that an app password has to be created and used.

It's only mentioned on the following tutorial: https://doc.e.foundation/how-tos/two-factor-authentication#using-an-application-password-for-the-eos-account-manager

What is the improved behavior?

  • On the login screen there is a permanent tooltip below the Sign in button with the label Two-Factor Authentication. When the user taps on it displays the following pop-up

** i Two-Factor Authentication**

In order to set up an account protected with 2-factor authentication (2FA) within /e/OS, you need to create a dedicated application password, in your account settings at murena.io.

[LATER] [VIEW MORE]

the [LATER] button closes the pop-up.
the [VIEW MORE] button sends the user to the documentation explaining how to do so in a Webview.

  • The first sentence should be rephrased like this Use your Murena ID to sign in (for example @e.email or @murena.io):

What does it bring?

It will help people understand why they can't login, before they even try to login.
