Upcoming authentication changes in trunk (OTP+API)

Some changes are coming regarding API and TOTP.

  1. I’m planning to implement app-specific passwords, for the time being used only for API clients (i.e. android/ios apps and whatever else);
  2. Unless you’re using OTP, you will be able to continue using your regular password in the client application or create an app-specific one, both would work;
  3. If you’re using OTP, your regular password will not be accepted. You will need to create an app-specific password[1] to continue using your API client application.

  1. Go to Preferences → Authentication → App passwords
