If you’re new to ASP.NET Core security, you can read an overview on. If you’re developing web applications (or straight-ahead websites) using ASP.NET Core, Microsoft and Twilio have a number of resources to speed you on your way to a robust and scalable 2FA that’s not a pain for your customers to use or for your admins to administer. 2FA adds something a user has to what a user knows to the process of verifying they’re who they say they are.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a great way of improving both the strength of your authentication system and your users’ experience with your authentication process. So how do you move beyond user credentials that consist of nothing more than an email address and a password that’s long and probably difficult to remember if it’s any good? Rolling your own authentication system is time consuming and fraught with peril. Security is important, just ask any blue check Twitter user.
