Koha needs additional layers of authentication. With the spread of equipment such as Amazon-locker type units to hold (often expensive) items obtained for interlibrary loan, and kit such as laptop loan units, there is the danger of unauthorised use via SIP2. Sites using RFID user cards with the cardnumber embedded on them are vulnerable to stock loss if a user card is lost and then found and used maliciously. Adding PIN functionality (for example) would reduce this risk.
Additional layers of authentication could be used for Staff Client login or OPAC login, but I don't think the layers you describe are very realistic for most libraries (ie I worked on the front lines of libraries for years and getting patrons to remember a number or a card is hard enough in itself). I also think they're a different use case than what is being described in this bug report. But an interesting idea. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
