Frequently Asked Questions
If your VPN connection requires two-factor authentication (2FA), where the token must be appended directly to the password (instead of being entered separately), you can set this up in VPN Tracker 365 as follows:
- Save username and static password:
Open the sidebar in VPN Tracker 365, right-click on your connection, and select “Edit User Credentials…”. Enter your username and the static part of your password (not the dynamic 2FA code). This data will be stored in the macOS Keychain. - Enable login prompt:
Then edit the connection. Under “Advanced Options”, in the “Additional Settings” section, check the box labeled “Always prompt for XAUTH credentials”.
When you connect next time, a login dialog will appear, pre-filled with your credentials from the keychain. You can now simply append the current 2FA token to the displayed password. Since “Save in Keychain” is not selected by default, this change is only applied for the current session. On the next start, the password field will again be pre-filled with the saved keychain data—ready for you to append the next token.
This method ensures a secure and flexible way to connect with VPN Tracker 365 without permanently saving the full password including the 2FA token.
