While in the process of updating many user admins reported that their Google Authenticator code for the backend was no longer need; after reviewing it was disabled. Why? Any Administrator would be highly upset that their security was disabled, and I am. Luckily; I had did backups and Luckily, you were the only update that I applied. So I went back one snapshot prior to applying any updates. The authenticator plugin was turned on. I updated the template; the authenticator was turned off. Why? :evil:

Hi

No database queries comes with template from the package, so if this attribute was changed it must have been because of joomla itself. Maybe files cannot be modified/overwritten if this option is ON, so joomla installator is disabling it before operation. You need to talk to joomla support if such problem occurs. It's not connected with any of out products.

That thought did cross my mind, after the post I did a review on the code and you were correct.. I am just trying to follow why would anyone make that happen.. You are right, your update didn't do it and I apologize to be posting in your forum; Gavick did nothing to compromise my security. I do understand what you said, it had insufficient privileges as verification is a requisite. I will be talking to Joomla for this matter; I am not upset but I am sure if the Authenticator is needed we could implement a pop-up that ask to be authenticated; I am sure this would bring more security as we are embarking on a new feature :)
