Why Choose This Project

With the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, passwords alone are no longer sufficient to protect sensitive accounts. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access by requiring additional verification methods beyond passwords. This project provides a comprehensive platform to manage MFA for users, supporting OTPs, authenticator apps, email verification, and recovery mechanisms. It is ideal for organizations, SaaS applications, and security-conscious developers seeking to enforce stronger authentication policies.

What You Get

A web-based system where users can enable, configure, and manage multiple MFA methods. Administrators can enforce MFA policies, track MFA usage, generate reports on authentication attempts, and provide secure recovery options. The system supports time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), SMS/email OTP, and push notification-based MFA.

Key Features

Technology Stack

Working Flow

1. User Login – Standard authentication using username/password.

2. MFA Enrollment – User configures MFA by linking TOTP apps, providing phone/email for OTP, or enabling push notifications.

3. Verification Step – On login, the system challenges the user with their chosen MFA method.

4. Risk-Based Enforcement – MFA can be triggered only for unrecognized devices, unusual geolocations, or high-risk logins.

5. Recovery Flow – Backup codes or email-based recovery are available if MFA device is lost.

6. Logging & Reporting – Admins can view MFA adoption, failed attempts, and generate compliance reports.
