An open-source, self-hosted tool for verifying callers before IT staff reset a password or MFA.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.
For
IT help desks handling password or MFA resets
Worth noticing
Verification accepts a 30-second TOTP step of clock drift; CSV exports omit TOTP secrets.

Field notes

Enrollment starts with an agent generating a QR code and emailing it to the employee, who scans it into an authenticator app. On calls, the dashboard checks the spoken code and allows one 30-second step of drift in either direction. The page also describes bulk employee actions, CSV exports that exclude TOTP secrets, and Microsoft Graph email delivery with SMTP fallback. Its demo uses random codes, not real TOTP.
