Considering that the antsle is public facing and available via a subdomain URL, it seems fairly insecure for it to ONLY require a single password and not "lock" a user out after several repeated attempts at the password.  Using Selenium or some other web based testing tool a brute force attack would eventually succeed.

How is yours public facing?  The antman URL doesn't work outside my LAN and I can't ssh to my antsle unless I forward a port in my router.

Hi @acnicholls

That's correct, your antsle won't be accessible from outside your network unless you have it under a public IP. That being said, 2FA is in our roadmap.

@lancem - in anthill there is the ability to give the antsle an antsle.us subdomain which, I think makes it available outside the LAN.  I'll test it this weekend, but I'm positive I can get to it from any IP if I know the subdomain.

@mardo - any update?  This post has been active for quite sometime.

Hi Anthony:

Thanks for reaching out and requesting an update.  I apologize for the late reply as I just saw this post.
I'll let our developers know that you had inquired about 2FA.

Thank you,
antsle Support

Hi Daniel:

Thanks for sharing the article about adding 2FA to your Ubuntu antlets!

Thank you,

thanks @danielgalvan, but I really meant to the antman login, the administration webpage.  Not one of the antlets and SSH.

now for me to apologize, I only just now tested trying the antsle.us subdomain from somewhere off my LAN and it returns a timeout error, which is good enough, so long as it's not my login page. @mardo is correct.
