Server: Improve backup codes UI/UX

Created on 7 Sep 2016  ·  9Comments  ·  Source: nextcloud/server

We recently added a new setting to the personal settings page – the ability to generate backup codes, which can be used in case users lose access to their second factor. At the moment, the user interface doesn't look that nice:

@nextcloud/designers any idea how we could make a prettier user interface out of that? Would be great if someone could create a mockup :art: :rocket:

  • A bit of space between the explanation and the codes.
  • Show only 5 codes in one row instead of 10.

And for all other 2FA's:

  • Put all 2FA stuff into one single menu instead of giving every plugin (and now the codes) an own space on the personal-page.

If that were possible, I'd dot it :wink:

Isnt this also possible on admin-page with the encryption stuff. "No Encryption plugin loaded". We could do the same for 2FA - we load all plugins into a single column. 😉

Yes, it is. But AFAIK _only_ on the admin page and not for personal settings. cc @blizzz

Yupp. The intention is to integration personal and admin settings to have just one "settings". We're not there yet and personal settings were not touched.

I have some aspects speaking against that - but this is not the right place to discuss 😁

@comradekingu looks good, only the "Old codes are lost …" text is a bit big and out of place. Should use a normal p.

Feel free to open a pull request.

Basically done by #11409 and other recent enhancements.
