Change QR Code generation to enable displaying the secret about django-allauth-2fa HOT 6 CLOSED

How is the secret shown in this case?

I suspect you could override the TwoFactorSetup to include information about the device in the template, I don't think it would be too difficult to encode the key in a different way.

If you look at Github's 2FA setup screen on the page where you view the QR code there is a text link to a modal dialog that pops up with the text version of the secret that can be manually entered into an Authenticator app.

I'm not entirely sure of what change to make in this case - basically the secret that is used to generate the QR code needs to be shared with the context. Presumably it needs to be provided at the same time as the QR code is loaded, although that currently just returns an image.

You would likely want it returned in the context of the TwoFactorSetup view.

As an aside, commit 94d12db (in #74) makes it possible to access the secret from the view using the template variable {{ view.device.key }}.

Oh, that would be great - thanks for the heads up @akx. When that gets merged in, it will make life easier to do this. I'd taken crack at it but got pulled away onto other projects as this was just a "nice to have" feature.

Closing because the noted changes made this possible and it's in the current release.
