Magento 2 two factor authentification: secure login
Double your Admin panel security
Two-step authentication is a simple yet efficient way to enhance your protection. This presupposes that to access your account, you have to prove yourself in two different ways. Besides from usual login and password, your mobile device becomes a necessary component of your authentication.
Protect your business account against fraud
As more services require to log in, users become less attentive. One-factor verification may become an easy target for the key loggers and data sniffing. The 2-factor authentication extension offers you a trustworthy 2-level solution of the present-day verification method, used by key figures of the industry (e.g. Facebook, Google, etc).
Use Google Authenticator to generate additional security code
Google Authenticator app is a simple way to make your personal device a crucial element for accessing the Magento account. The app generates security codes every 30 seconds, so even if your login and password were hacked somehow, there is one more additional security OTP for login.
Include reliable IP addresses in the white list
To free some IP addresses (e.g. your company) from a double checkup, simply add these IP addresses to the white list in the backend settings.
Enable security code for particular admin roles individually
The Magento 2 Two-factor Authentication extension offers a possibility to configure each admin role individually. Enable additional code for each particular company person.

Magento 2 factor authentification
2-step verification is an extra layer of protection based on Google Authenticator or mobile device binding. The single-use 30-second code is apt to protect Magento 2 backend against cybercriminals. Powered by TOTP / HOTP algos, our 2FA plugin doubles your business data resistance against attacks.
🚀 Why Do You Need 2FA?
2FA is a new outline of your security measures that phasing out used-to-be protection measures largely due to the obvious pros:
- an extra layer of user credentials/account protection;
- decreased risks of unauthorized access/system breaches;
- a wide variety of 2FA methods that suit the most discerning users: secret questions, pin codes sent to mobiles, pictures confirmations, more;
- secure access to confidential business information.
As a result, by avoiding security issues you increase user satisfaction and loyalty to your brand.
To date, more than 90% of Gmail accounts don't use 2FA. This is largely due to Google democratic approach, you can’t simply force users unconditionally accept the two-step authentication. However, in 2023 we see people suffer from banal email hacking and e-commerce fraud.
What makes you think then that the problem won’t affect your business? Let’s take a guess, you may think you are only beginning to be an e-business, you may personally know all the employees, besides you have a small staff, who are easy to control. All these arguments don’t hold much water once your Admin account is hacked.
🚀 What is a Magento 2 authentication factor?
The factor is a credential that is used to verify an access legitimacy. They distinguish the next 2FA types:
- knowledge (it’s based on a user's knowledge of something): This one is the most common method of authentication. They can be secret questions/characters/words/sentences/numeric combinations/etc.;
- possession (it’s based on a user's possession of something): The method implies secret Magento authentication keys that are possessed by only one user. One of the most in-use examples is a security token (disconnected/connected/software/etc.);
- inherence (it’s based on a user's biometric characteristics): They are user's fingerprints, face, voice, iris recognition, typing dynamic and others. The factor is justly considered as one of the safest.
Our Magento 2 factor authentication uses 30-second Google Authenticator code sent to your mobile device.

FAQ
Magento 2 Two-Factor Authentication enhances security by requiring two-step authentication to access the Magento admin panel from all devices. This feature can be implemented using Google Authenticator, Authy, Duo, and other applications. With their help, you get an authentication code that helps prevent illegal attempts to log into your Admin account.
Magento authentication keys are secure credentials used by the Magento application to verify and authorize access between different system components or integrations. These keys ensure that data exchanges - such as API connections, module installations, or admin access - are performed safely and only by trusted sources.
In Magento 2, authentication keys can be used to connect external systems (like ERP, CRM, or third-party services) through the Magento Web API framework. They work similarly to access tokens, allowing authenticated communication without exposing sensitive login credentials.
Magento 2 OTP verification is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your store by requiring users to verify their identity using a One-Time Password (OTP).
When enabled, customers or admins receive a unique OTP (usually sent via email or SMS) which must be entered during login, registration, or checkout. This ensures that only verified users can access their accounts or complete sensitive actions.
Magento OTP verification works by generating and sending a unique One-Time Password (OTP) to the user during key actions such as login, registration, or checkout. When a customer performs one of these actions, Magento automatically triggers the OTP process sending a temporary code via email or SMS. The user must then enter this code within a limited time to verify their identity. If the OTP is valid, the action proceeds; if not, it’s denied for security reasons.
Magento 2 two-factor authentication will reduce unauthorized access and reduce the effectiveness of cyber-attacks. Two-factor authentication creates additional layers of security and will perfectly work with other Magento 2 OTP verifications. A second authentication identifier makes it harder for an attacker to gain access to corporate systems. Still, you can disable 2FA for Magento 2 anytime.
