Pull request overview
This PR strengthens TOTP secret protection by introducing per-user salting and PBKDF2-derived encryption keys, while keeping backward compatibility by upgrading legacy (md5-derived) encrypted secrets on successful validation.
Changes:
- Add
secret_salt/secret_algofields toTwoFactorand a migration (v330) to add columns and mark existing rows as legacy (md5). - Update
ValidateTOTPto support legacy decryption and opportunistically re-encrypt secrets with PBKDF2+salt (returning anupgradedflag). - Update auth flows/tests to use the new
(ok, upgraded, err)return signature and cover upgrade behavior.

When rotateSecretSalt() fails during a legacy-secret upgrade, the function returns ok (which is true in this branch) alongside a non-nil error. Returning false for ok when err != nil avoids ambiguous results and prevents future callers from accidentally accepting a passcode if they mishandle the error.

Similarly, if re-encryption of the legacy secret fails, this returns ok (true) with a non-nil error. Prefer returning false for ok whenever err is non-nil to keep the API contract consistent and reduce the risk of misuse by future callers.

The code reads very strange.
There are many calls to ValidateTOTP, but why only one call does UpdateTwoFactor ?
Shouldn't ValidateTOTP fully handle the "upgrade"?
The test is also very strange, it never really tested the data is upgraded in database, never tested that after upgrade the TOTP can still succeed by reading from database.
And the check t.SecretAlgo == "" || t.SecretAlgo == "md5" || t.SecretSalt == "" is also very strange, why not just simply treat "empty" as legacy "md5"? Why need to use string const "md5"?
Conclusion: AI slop

Superseded by #39540 — rewritten on current Assisted-by: Composer |

Updated the two-factor secret storage to use PBKDF2-derived AES keys with per-user salts, added a
secret_algomarker and migration (including backfilling existing rows tomd5), and implemented on-login re-encryption of legacy secrets. Added migration tests for the new columns and unit tests covering PBKDF2 setup and legacy secret upgrade behavior.Generated by Coding Agent with Codex 5.2
