I need some help or further explanation with two factor authentication, using Authy.
Background: Clent has 3 Miva seats, which are used in up to 8 different geographic locations, by up to 8 staff members. Here are just a couple of the many typical scenarios faced each day:
a) Staff member working from home before the business day starts - logs in and uses 1 seat. Staff arrive at main office and login and use 2 seats. Then, staff member in the warehouse needs access to Miva Admin. Calls one of the 3 existing users and gets them to log off. Then logs in. When finished, calls staff member who logged out and that staff member logins in again.
b) Later in the day, staff member in interstate office needs to login and calls a logged in staff member at head office, to get him/her to log out. Then when task finished, interstate staff member logs out and calls head office to let them know.
c) CRON job runs a couple of times a day which downloads orders from Miva store, synchronizes product, customer and category data between accounting system and the Miva store. If all 3 seats taken, it boots someone and then runs.
I have read the docs at Authy and at Miva and I follow all the simple examples given in these docs but I am just not getting how to configure two factor authentication to cater for at least the above situations e.g how many Authy accounts are required 3 or 8 or some other number? How does Authy work for CRON jobs? How would the authentication work for the warehouse guy in the example above?
The dots are just not connecting for me at present.
