2 Factor Authentication


2FA can be used to secure the admin control panel, staff accounts and if required, member accounts as well. Google authenticator app can be used to get One Time Password ( OTP ) on top of hosted password to provide another layer of protection from hacking. Google has open source repo to build 2FA.

Yup.

To note that it's already built into 1.1, so if you are interested in creating an addon for 1., you could pick the code there and pack it, so that it will be compatible with 1.1 out of the box. ;D

For Google 2FA it depends on your Google setting. It can be tapping or sms etc. Email notification and smartphone confirmation are normal.[1]
I haven't use this feature in here yet though. :D
