> * Require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all Gerrit users.
> * Lock Gerrit accounts of inactive approvers. An approver is considered inactive if they have not logged into their Qt Account within 6 months. Notification email will be send 1 month before locking, and the process can be stopped simply by logging in.
> * Remove approver rights after 12 months of inactivity. Rights can be recovered by requesting them from Gerrit Admins.

when I scan the QR code on this page with FreeOTP the app tells me that the token is using cryptographically weak parameters.
