Drupal 2FA

Overview

Two-Factor authentication has been an essential component of Drupal sites to nullify the identity theft. This handbook will guide you through the steps of setting up 2FA on your Drupal site using the Two Factor Authentication - 2FA / Passwordless Login module. This will also walk you through all the features provided by the module.

What is Two-factor authentication?

Two-factor authentication refers to verifying the authenticity of a user by an additional method on top of basic authentication using username/email and password. This adds a layer of security and protects the website against brute force and phishing attacks.

The Two Factor Authentication - 2FA / Passwordless Login module protects the user accounts on Drupal sites by adding a second factor of authentication after default authentication by Drupal. The module provides 16+ 2FA methods and verifies the users based on "Something the user knows," or "Something the user has”!
