I’m working on some software that contacts the checkvist API. The doc for the login call (/auth/login.json?version=2
) seems to imply (the wording isn’t 100% clear) that a 2fa token is needed if the user has it enabled:
If user has 2-step verification enabled, API calls for obtaining the token should use Remote API key. Otherwise they should also contain 2-factor authentication code from the authentication app as the parameter
token2fa
.

However I’m finding with my account (which does have 2FA enabled) I can get a token using just the username and remote_key. Have I missed something?
And a more general question while I’m on this topic - I haven’t seen much mention of the API on this Discourse. Is this the right place to ask questions about it? If so perhaps you could add a relevant category or tag - it’s probably not of much interest to most checkvist users.
