2FA bei Fortnox mit Data Hub

To prepare a possible headless script automation with invantive Data Hub, it would be nice if Invantive’s team could request Fortnox to add the possibility of One Time Password (OTP) for two-factor (2FA) authentication.

For now login methods are:

  • BankID (only for Swedish residents);
  • login and password, completed with 2FA code provided via SMS.

What is the problem that you are running into which should this suggestion solve?

Wir hoffen, Fortnox bald mit Invantive Data Hub nutzen zu können, mit einem automatischen geplanten Skript.

Da die Authentifizierung bei Fortnox mit 2FA per SMS erfolgt, verhindert dies die Nutzung eines automatisierten Headless-Skripts.

Exact Online zum Beispiel verwendet 2FA über zeitbasiertes OTP, was ein solches Setup ermöglicht.

Thanks for pointing out that Fortnox has started to provide various strategies for 2FA using SMS codes. For our development environment, we have increased the frequency from once every 90 days to once per login to experience the problem.
