Currently, 2FA via OATHAuth is not compatible with CentralAuth's SSO. A user would have to enable 2FA on every SUL wiki individually (and setup 2FA on any future wikis the WMF deploys as soon as it's deployed), with a different secret, and login using the correct wiki's secret. Otherwise, an attacker can login using just a password on a SUL wiki where 2FA isn't enabled for the account, and CentralAuth will auto-login the user on any other wiki.

Just a note that an RfC this year resulted in supported for 2FA on the English Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_123#RfC:_Proposal_to_add_optional_multi-factor_authentication_to_the_English_Wikipedia

Thanks @Samwalton9, I hand't seen that.
Right now, the extensions that handles 2FA on wiki (OATHAuth) only applies the setting on a single wiki, but SUL allows a user account to login on any wiki and then be logged in across projects. So we're not able to do this currently, unless a developer wants to make OAUTHAuth CentralAuth-aware.

@Andrew - We're planning to merge a bunch of OATH patches this week, one which requires a maintenance script to be run on labswiki (updating the scratch token storage format). Is there a good time to schedule that with you?
Comment Actions
@csteipp, any deployer should have the rights to run the script, so finding someone to run it should be easy. I don't much care when you do it, although I typically schedule wikitech maintenance well away from any other maintenance or deployment windows since people are generally looking at wikitech docs while deploying.

@Andrew, I probably should have given you more warning, but I've got this deployment schedule in about 30 mins. If anything looks odd, I'll revert. But like I said, there's very little chance of this affecting users.

OATH has been rolled out to testwiki and test2wiki. Everything seems to be working as expected. Assuming no issues come up, I'll make it available on all wikis (to Staff global group only) tomorrow in SWAT.

This was officially resolved as of the date that AuthManager was enabled on public wikis.

Seconding to this comment. It would be great for checkusers, oversights and other people with non-public-data access.
