    Your authentication mechanism should include multiple factors, something the user knows and something the user has. If you are using Devise, you can use the devise-two-factor gem. If you have custom authentication, you can use the rotp gem to generate OTP codes and verify those during login.
  • Ask HN: Why doesn't MFA as a stand alone API exist?

    In Ruby-on-Rails it's part of the authentication framework Devise https://github.com/tinfoil/devise-two-factor and related modules including creating QR codes, backup codes etc. PHP Laraval has similar libraries https://jetstream.laravel.com/2.x/features/two-factor-authen...

    Auth0 and similar commercial companies might very good at marketing. Try replacing "API" with "library" or a programming language name.

    > It's just not valuable enough for anyone to create

    For a commercial API you need to charge $10 USD/month, or equivalent in terms of per-API-call, otherwise your service won't be profitable. You call 5 US cent already expensive, so I think you're right, it's not valuable enough.

  • I resurrected devise-otp from the dead

    I've used https://github.com/tinfoil/devise-two-factor before – it's good to know there is a maintained alternative that implements the UI already and is compatible to Rails 7.
  • What's going on with Devise for Rails 7 ?!
    7 projects | /r/rails | 21 Feb 2022
    Are you referring to the devise two factor authentication gem at https://github.com/tinfoil/devise-two-factor? If so, I have posted a ticket that modifies the gem to use the Rails 7 Active Record encryption capabilities and some folks have been asking if a pull request could be created for it. There is some discussion going on in the issue thread on how to proceed. See https://github.com/tinfoil/devise-two-factor/issues/192 for details.
