Security Task: 2FA Setup for Critical Systems

Goal

Enable Two-Factor Authentication on administrative interfaces (e.g. Proxmox, Portainer, Git).

Examples

Proxmox (TOTP):

  1. Login as user
  2. Go to Datacenter → Permissions → Users
  3. Add TOTP secret
  4. Test backup code

Portainer:

  1. Enable OAuth or SSO if available
  2. Enforce MFA from the admin panel

Git (self-hosted):

  • Use SSH keys for repo access
  • Enforce 2FA on web interface if using GitHub/GitLab

Tools

  • Authenticator apps (Aegis, FreeOTP, Google Authenticator)
  • Admin panels of relevant platforms
