i have been utilizing an sms password system on a test server where i house the Tele-Arena Platinum 3.0 testbed and would love to see something like this
implemented..... with mine it goes....
Welcome to the Tele-Arena Platinum test server powered by a
custom build of Worldgroup 3.12 for Windows NT/95.
Login: Sysop
Welcome Sysop, a six digit code has been sent to
the Phone Number and Email address associated
with this account, enter it to login within 5 mins.
Passcode: 608231
Welcome back, logging on ........
this started years ago as a newuser validation menu
i had that required an email to logon and the code
was used just to verify the account but now i use
it as a logon shell built directly into majorbbs.c
and i make use of it on my Worldggroup 2.0
system as well.
SMS Password Codes
Re: SMS Password Codes
I have an HTTP client that could call a URL to trigger it but it's buggy at the moment.

I would love to see TOTP/HOTP style 2FA (using an Authenticator App) in MBBS!

that would be pretty sweet, right now it is a generic mod to the core i would prefer to be able to have it as an addon without core modification. i utilize baseline fields but core mods would have to be implemented to prevent invalid phone number entries and forced email optional questions. lot of people are into privacy so i try to remove the real name/address stuff and would love to have their "account name" be a phone number or email and attach an "alias" to that which is what the system would use as the "userid"

see that system could be manipulated via an app as well if someone wrote one. when i incorporated sms messaging into my system so my beta testers could receive live updates like a sort of twitter feed, it would let them set their sms address like (5555555555@vtext.com) and whenever i write to a specific forum it would text them the link of the new read-only message. (no reply or what, just read) someone mentioned an app interface using the objective-c sdk for ios said it would be rather easy, but guess the easy part depends on the skill of the one trying it.

Re: SMS Password Codes
I was thinking along the lines of Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator App, tied into MBBS. Then there is no need to write the app, just integrate it.
