# 2fa ### 2fa is a gem that uses the twilio-ruby library to do two factor authentication in rails apps. ## Setup * Add `gem '2fa'` to your `Gemfile` * `bundle install` * Add `mount TFA::Engine => '/tfa', as: :tfa` to your `config/routes.rb` * `rails db:migrate` * Set the env vars, `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID`, `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN`, and `TWILIO_SENDING_PHONE` to your twilio account sid, twilio auth token, and the phone number to send from in `+155566667777` format respectively. (You do need a twilio account for this) ## Usage ### require\_tfa() To require 2FA anywhere in your app, simply call the `helpers.require_tfa` method. This method takes in a phone number, the http params to be used after, the url to redirect to after, and the http method to use after, the length of the code, and the message to send. Only the phone number, the http params, and the url are required. The rest default to post, 6, and "Your two factor authentication code is:\n\n{code}" You can use the method like this: ```rb helpers.require_tfa(phone_number: '+15556667777', http_params: helpers.tfa_friendly_params(params), url: request.path) ``` You can see that we givve a phone number, a url, and http params. We are though passing the params through `helpers.tfa_friendly_params`. That method just converts the params into a hash and some other stuff. ### if\_tfa and no\_tfa You can check in your controller if you are authenticated with tfa by putting the code to only run with tfa in a `if_tfa` block and the other stuff in a `no_tfa` block. An example of a full controller method with tfa auth: ```rb def create helpers.no_tfa do helpers.require_tfa(phone_number: '+15556667777', http_params: helpers.tfa_friendly_params(params), url: request.path) end helpers.if_tfa do @example = example.new(example_params) respond_to do |format| if @example.save format.html { redirect_to example_url(@example), notice: "example was successfully created." } format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @example } else format.html { render :new, status: :unprocessable_entity } format.json { render json: @example.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end end ``` This is just a default scaffolded controller but with tfa auth. This isn't perfect as in theory someone could pass a different unused tfa by inspecting the form, so to prevent this, you can take in a `|tfa|` argument from the helper to verify that the tfa has the correct phone number. ```rb helpers.if_tfa do |tfa| if tfa.phone == @user.phone #...your code here else head 401 end end ``` ### Custom tfa check page To make a custom tfa check page, make the file `app/views/tfa/tfas/_show.html.erb`. In this file you have the instance variable, `@tfa` and a formatted phone number (`@tfa_phone`), and some more. You need to have the default form stuff in there: ```rb <%= form_with(url: @url, method: @method) do |f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :tfa_id, value: @tfa.id %> <% @http_params.each do |p| %> <%= f.hidden_field p[0].to_sym, value: p[1].to_s.gsub("\0001", ':').gsub("\0002", ',').gsub("\0003", '#') %> <% end %>
<%= f.number_field :code %>
<%= f.submit 'Go' %>
<% end %> ```
