Hello, I wanted to activate double authentication for email users but I get the following error. I verify that Google Authenticator was already installed

I’m having the exact same issue, on Ubuntu 24.04. Any news?

I just tried on Rocky and works fine, I noticed first post has alot of packages that need updating, can you make sure you system is updated as well.

Check here

Thank you for the link, which shows that it does indeed seem to be a bug. In Virtualmin it works, in Usermin it doesn’t. All my packages are updated and it’s a fresh install I just set up yesterday.

Yeah, the updated code is listed in links, you could check against whats on your system.

I just saw. I am on Webmin 2.202 / Usermin 2.102, no idea when that commit will be pushed to the repo that I’m using. How would I see that? I’m sorry, I’m not very familiar with the logic that is used by Virtualmin maintainers to push out updates.

It already is, it is pushed to the GitHub repo, but this does not translate into an immediately available update for usermin/virtualmin/webmin

There are no fixed dates/times when Webmin and Virtualmin updates are pushed out to end users.

There are ways if you are a developer to update your local code, but for you I would not recommend these.

What is wrong with using the webmin patch command ? I think this option was designed for non tech users to update webmin with code committed to the github repro directly however you do need to know the commit id

he comes across as this is not his thing, so why don’t you post the full patch info and tell how to do it and let him decide. :smile:

As I don’t use 2fa I have no use for it, and perhaps I have better things to do with my time than hunting for the correct commit

This issue has been fixed for the upcoming Usermin release. For those who feel comfortable, there’s also a nightly build of Usermin available that addresses this issue.
