    Hello All,

    Earlier this year I noticed that my DNS provider (Hurricane Electric) had added 2FA, which I promptly enabled, forgetting all about the fact that ACME used HE account credentials to add the ACME challenges during re-issue, this meant that my automatic re-issue was failing.

    I disabled 2FA temporarily and the re-issue went through as normal.

    I presume that HE provide some kind of API key for use in these cases when 2FA is enabled, though I cannot find it on their website and have emailed them asking how to get these.

    It looks like the HE integration for the ACME package only supports username/password credentials, is there a way around this?

      Just a nudge on this question, currently I am having to disable 2FA when I want to renew.

      Does anyone know how the he.net integration works, is it simply scraping dns.he.net or is it usign an API?

      According to he.net it should be doing something like this ..

      curl "https://dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update" -d "hostname=_acme-yourdomain.com" -d "password=txtRecordKey" -d "txt=ACMEChallenge"
