- First create a secret and associate it with a user
-
Next create a QR code and let the user scan it:
...or display the secret to the user for manual entry:
VTBM 6AE6 QLUG LTVC
- Next, have the user verify the code; at this time the code displayed by a 2FA-app would be: 142872 (but that changes periodically)
- When the code checks out, 2FA can be / is enabled; store (encrypted?) secret with user and have the user verify a code each time a new session is started.
-
When aforementioned code (142872) was entered, the result would be:
OK
Note: Make sure your server-time is NTP-synced! Depending on the $discrepancy allowed your time cannot drift too much from the users' time!
