Introduction

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is one of the alternatives when it comes to Multi-Factor Authentication.

The user is only granted access by presenting 2 pieces of evidence (hence the Two-Factor).

In the case of our implementation, the 2 factors are:

  • The password

  • A One-Time Password (OTP) that is generated through a third- party authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator).

With these two factors, knowledge (password) & possession (OTP), we increase the security of the user account.
