Allow methods priorization / selection of fallback method

Open adlerweb opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

At the moment a user is only able to specify a primary authentication method. If the user now accesses the page using a unsupported system (for example U2F + vanilla Firefox) the plugin selects the first enabled method as fallback. As far as I can tell there is atm no way for the user to choose which method to use for fallback without disabling everything else. For me this automatically reverts to E-Mail while I would prefer Google Authenticator as a fallback (while keeping e-mail as a manual option).

It's not something that I think is great enough of a need to add a visible administrative option for, but I wouldn't necessarily object to a filter or the like.

We may wind up sorting the methods by most recently used, rather than have any sort of user selection of primary/secondary -- so whenever a method is used, it bubbles to the top of the list, and the unused ones naturally sort themselves down to the end.

Could the methods be dragged and dropped into the desired order? That seems intuitive and simple...?

Methods being sorted by most recent use seems strange... if I want U2F => OTP => email => verification codes, I've to login using each one in reverse order. I do like this behavior if the user hasn't specified an order yet.
