Up until now, we have used Devise's Rememberable mechanism to re-log users
after the end of their browser sessions. This mechanism relies on a signed
cookie containing a token. That token was stored on the user's record,
meaning it was shared across all logged in browsers, meaning truly revoking
a browser's ability to auto-log-in involves revoking the token itself, and
revoking access from *all* logged-in browsers.
We had a session mechanism that dynamically checks whether a user's session
has been disabled, and would log out the user if so. However, this would only
clear a session being actively used, and a new one could be respawned with
the `remember_user_token` cookie.
In practice, this caused two issues:
- sessions could be revived after being closed from /auth/edit (security issue)
- auto-log-in would be disabled for *all* browsers after logging out from one
of them
This PR removes the `remember_token` mechanism and treats the `_session_id`
cookie/token as a browser-specific `remember_token`, fixing both issues.
* Drop dependency on secure_headers, use always_write_cookie instead
* Fix cookies in Tor Hidden Services by moving configuration to application.rb
* Instead of setting always_write_cookie at boot, monkey-patch ActionDispatch
CSFR-prevention is already implemented but adding this doesn't hurt.
A brief introduction to Same-Site cookies (and the difference between strict and
lax) can be found at
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/04/24/same-site-cookies-in-firefox-60/
TLDR: We use lax since we want the cookies to be sent when the user navigates
safely from an external site.
* Add confirmation step for email changes
This adds a confirmation step for email changes of existing users.
Like the initial account confirmation, a confirmation link is sent
to the new address.
Additionally, a notification is sent to the existing address when
the change is initiated. This message includes instruction to reset
the password immediately or to contact the instance admin if the
change was not initiated by the account owner.
Fixes#3871
* Add review fixes
* Add overview of active sessions
* Better display of browser/platform name
* Improve how browser information is stored and displayed for sessions overview
* Fix test
* Add recovery code support for two-factor auth
When users enable two-factor auth, the app now generates ten
single-use recovery codes. Users are encouraged to print the codes
and store them in a safe place.
The two-factor prompt during login now accepts both OTP codes and
recovery codes.
The two-factor settings UI allows users to regenerated lost
recovery codes. Users who have set up two-factor auth prior to
this feature being added can use it to generate recovery codes
for the first time.
Fixes#563 and fixes#987
* Set OTP_SECRET in test enviroment
* add missing .html to view file names
