Generic columns headers need explanation/clarification

Open guntbert opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

The two generic headers (hardware token, software token) need a little explanation.

I suggest (to preserve screen real etstate) attaching an :information_source: icon and on hover showing a popup with a short explaining text and a few examples (non-exhaustive of course).

what kind of explanation text do you think it should have?

Giving it a try:

  • Hardware Token

    A physical item you have to insert/attach e.g. Yubikey, FIDO, ...

  • Software Token

    A program running on your phone, that will provide an additional code e.g. Google Authenticator, Authy, ...

(The rationale: I had to think a little to understand the meaning of the column titles, and I am not new to security :smile_cat: )
