Copy User Profile - No Option to NOT copy TOTP

Problem Statement

When copying user profiles to other systems through Navigator for i, there is no option to NOT copy their TOTP. To reduce TOTP re-use and better align with best security practices; this operation should be disabled by default and if the administrator also wishes to share TOTP secrets for user profiles between systems they can enable that portion of the profile to also be copied.

    Thanks! Much appreciated to have the option to not copy those secrets around and force unique TOTP values on a per system basis.

    Thanks for your input. We agree that this idea has merit and would be a useful enhancement. IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    I disagree.    By not copying TOTP, (and presumably turning of *TOTP) you've just removed MFA protection, making it easier to use the profile on the copied to system.
