    Description

      When enrolling a user for TOTP, the barcode uses the text from the configured totp-issuer (or the default "Apache Guacamole") and appends " (username)" when creating the new entry in the Authenticator App. For example 

      totp-issuer DevTest

      DevTest (bloggs_joe)

      123456

      This leaks valuable information (their username for the system) to anyone who might catch sight of a user's authenticator.

      For security conscious users it would be good to add an option in the config file to hide the username

      1. totp-hideuser - Flag to hide username from generated authenticator entry. Set value to 1 to hide the username. (Default 0) 

      totp-issuer DevTest

      totp-hideuser 1

      DevTest
