    Hi @PeterUK ,

    Could you share your specific reasons for wanting to use email-based 2FA authentication on FLEX H models?

    Have you considered using Google Authenticator as an alternative?

    allow 2FA authentication by WAN

    Could you provide more details about your requirements/ scenario?
    Why do you need to enable 2FA authentication by WAN?

    One might only like email-based 2FA authentication over Google Authenticator or your not able to have Google Authenticator

    At this time for my setup that a hope Kay gets round to looking at 2FA just does not work with firewall on for some reason.

    So what I don't know is does 2FA page meant to work over the VPN tunnel when connected then the full connect is allowed? as that would explain some things

    So another use case for Email is the remote user is a long way away and you don't want to give them admin access to the FLEX they can't scan the QR code on there phone for Google Authenticator so ok their is "Can not scan the QR code?" so you send this info by Email for them to add it manually then they have to send you the code for Verify your device on FLEX by Email which will be a pain and needs to be done in time.
