SWIFT2FA

Easy and Secure 2-Factor Authentication

Overview

Swift2FA is a secure and easy-to-use PHP library for implementing two-factor authentication. It supports various authentication methods, including:

• Authenticator apps (Google Authenticator and others)
• Email authentication via SMTP with PHPMailer
• SMS-based authentication using services like Twilio

Key Features

• Simple integration process
• High-security standards
• Multiple authentication methods
• Built-in encryption for secret keys
• QR code generation
• Flexible time-step settings
• Email and SMS delivery options

Installation

composer require uthmandev/swift2fa

Usage Guide

Basic Setup

use Swift2FA\Swift2FA;

$swift2fa = new Swift2FA();

Key Management

1. Encrypting Keys

// Generate and encrypt a new secret key
$encryptedKey = $swift2fa->encryptKey();

1. Decrypting Keys

// Decrypt a stored encrypted key
$decryptedKey = $swift2fa->decryptKey($encryptedKey);

TOTP Operations

1. Generating TOTP

// Generate a time-based one-time password
$totpCode = $swift2fa->generateTOTP($secret, $timeStep = 30, $codeLength = 6);

1. Validating TOTP

// Validate a user-provided TOTP code
$isValid = $swift2fa->TOTPValidate($userInput, $secret);

QR Code Generation

// Generate a QR code for authenticator apps
$qrCode = $swift2fa->generateQR($userEmail, $decryptedSecret);

Authentication Link Generation

// Generate an otpauth:// link
$authLink = $swift2fa->generatelink($userEmail, $decryptedSecret);

Sending Authentication Codes

1. Via Email

// Send TOTP via email
$swift2fa->Mail(
    mailType: 'SMTP',
    email: 'user@example.com',
    message: 'Your authentication code is: ' . $totpCode,
    name: 'User Name',
    subject: 'Authentication Code'
);

1. Via SMS

// Send TOTP via SMS
$swift2fa->SMS(
    phoneNumber: '+1234567890',
    messageBody: 'Your authentication code is: ' . $totpCode,
    name: 'User Name'
);

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file with the following configurations:

# General Settings
APP_NAME=your_app_name
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_secure_encryption_key

# Email (SMTP) Settings
HOST=smtp.gmail.com
USER_NAME=your_email@gmail.com
PASSWORD=your_gmail_app_password
PORT=465
SMTP_SECURE=ssl

# SMS (Twilio) Settings
TWILIO_SID=your_twilio_sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_twilio_auth_token
TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER=your_twilio_phone_number

Important Notes

1. Security

   • Store encryption keys securely
   • Restrict access to environment files
   • Use HTTPS for all authentication operations

2. TOTP Validation

   • Standard time step is 30 seconds
   • Email TOTP might require longer time steps (e.g., 120 seconds)
   • QR codes should be the primary method for adding TOTP to authenticator apps

3. Authentication Links

   • otpauth:// links won't work in browsers
   • Use QR codes for adding to authenticator apps
