Note that the scratch tokens operate under a different attack scenario than TOTP codes, and thus they cannot be the same format.

Note that this was achieved in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/280672, so maybe this is more a bug with AuthManager than it is this extension?

I'm tempted to decline this, but maybe others feel differently.

It should be just that. I filed a bug for every difference between the two at the time.

Is there some sense of a global site group name in CentralAuth? If there isn't then we should just have a config variable for this extension, rather than forcing the string "Wikimedia".

I'd remove it. I really do not remember why I added it, and if I added it because of people accidentally blocking themselves...well that was a stupid reason. If people want to block themselves, maybe it's for the best anyway.

They really should be hashed :)

Is there a scenario in which this can be reproduced? Or is it seemingly random?
May 27 2016
I will check it out, although there's a strong possibility this was another bug caused by the lack of URI encoding. I will investigate and report back here.

I've lost track of exactly what features AuthManager supports, but does it allow storing of arbitrary user authentication metadata? Because then once Extension:OATHAuth is converted to use AuthManager, we can just have the authentication provider store and fetch the secret from the generic backend interface.

I am going to make separate tasks for some of the feedback.

- Google: They allow login if you have one of any two-factors available (i.e., they support SMS and phone call as alternatives to TOTP). Additionally, when logging in with 2FA, Google allows you to mark a computer as "trusted". You can use a trusted computer that is still logged in to disable 2FA. Otherwise, you need to file an account recovery form, which Google responds to manually after a few business days. Things they ask on the form (I presume they have a further protocol beyond submission of the form, probably involving submission of government ID):
- The date you created your account and the date you last accessed it (required)
- Your security question, if enabled (optional, even if the question is enabled)
- Up to five email addresses you frequently contact and up to five Gmail labels you created (optional)
- Your first recovery email address (optional)
- Other Google products you use and approximately when you started using them (optional)
- An explanation of how you lost access to your account
- Contact information for sending the password reset
- Facebook: Submission of a government ID, or (strangely) you can take a picture of yourself holding a code that Facebook gives you.
- GitHub, Apple, and Dropbox: Does not offer account recovery at all. You either need a phone with SMS for backup, or another backup token of some sort. If you lose all of your 2FA, you have lost access to your account permanently.
- LastPass: They allow removal of 2FA from the account by just sending a confirmation email to the primary account email. If you lost access to your primary email, I am not sure what options are available.
- Amazon Web Services: You have to file a support ticket to remove 2FA, after which they call you on the phone and ask for some trivial verification information (such as your credit card number on file).

As a quick note for both this task in general and for @rosalieper and @Galorefitz, we spoke with @siebrand yesterday, and asked him about the two approaches for this task, i.e.:

Weird, I don't remember claiming this in Phabricator. Although I can work on it if @01tonythomas wants.
The only interesting question about this is: what about users who are added as publishers to other newsletters by other people? Do we block a user from being added as a publisher when they reach the limit, or do we only block the creation of new newsletters?
Yep I believe so, unless there are other logging actions we wanted implemented.

Literally the only place that error message is used is in the AbortChangePassword hook...
@Reedy Just so I know all the details, were you logged in already? And I presume your account has 2FA enabled on it?
@Reedy I cannot seem to reproduce this locally. Could you provide some reproduction steps? I've tried visiting Special:Userrights and other restricted pages while logged in and it did not bother me. All other functionality seemed to be working as expected.

Making public since the main bug this is a duplicate of is already public.
For some reason "wikipedia.com", and probably any other redirect domains the WMF owns, are not alt names on the certificate.
I have confirmed this in Chrome and Firefox. No warnings in Safari.

I think this bug can probably be closed since the technical requirements have been fulfilled. However, I still think we should actually apply a specific strong policy to accounts.

@01tonythomas Just want to clarify. Should we as the mentors be rating these projects right now in the Outreachy application? And if so do we need to alter the Contribution status as well?
Oct 28 2015
I do not think @VitaliyFilippov's patches and the Outreachy project are mutually exclusive. First, I want to echo @Aklapper and just say thanks to @VitaliyFilippov. Patches are always welcome, and save us a bit of work!
