Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to provide two different authentication factors to verify their identity and access a system or account. The goal of 2FA is to add an extra layer of security beyond the traditional username and password combination, which can be vulnerable to various cyber threats like phishing or password theft.

Categories

The two factors typically fall into one of three categories:

Knowledge Factors: Something the user knows, such as a password, PIN, or answers to security questions.

Possession Factors: Something the user possesses, like a physical device (e.g., a smartphone or security token) that generates or receives a one-time authentication code.

Biometric Factors: Something inherent to the user, such as fingerprint, retina scan, or facial recognition.

In this session, we will see in detail the pattern to implement the Possession Factor.

The component also includes a real-time MFA reset feature, allowing users to securely reconfigure their two-factor setup on a new device whenever needed.

Implementing two-factor authentication is a widely recommended practice for securing online accounts, financial transactions, and sensitive information, providing an additional layer of defense against unauthorized access and enhancing overall cybersecurity.

This reusable component can be implemented across any OutSystems application, helping you build secure apps faster and smarter.
