Multi-Factor Authentication is the practice of adding an extra authentication step - often requiring use of a separate device such as a smartphone. What this means for you is that even if your login credentials are somehow obtained by a third party, they still would not be able to log in without also obtaining your MFA device. Multi-Factor Authentication is essentially to any website owner who values site security.
Logging In with MFA
Setup Instructions
- In the backend, go to My Account in the top right.
- Check the Use Multi-Factor Authentication? checkbox.
- Generate an MFA Secret and scan the generated barcode using Google Authenticator (Android, iPhone).
- Enter two security questions and answers - these will be used when you don't have access to your phone.
- Click Save at the bottom of the form.
Once set up, Google Authenticator will display a continually changing set of 6 digits. When you next log in, you'll need to enter the currently showing number.
For Extra Security
- In the backend, go to Settings - Multi-Factor Authentication
- Check Require MFA for all administrators?
This option will restrict new or existing administrators who haven't yet enabled MFA to the My Account section of admin until they set it up.

Found the plugin not useful on 17 May, 2019
your plugin is not compatible with octobercms 455 build version. I am having this error now and my backend dashboard is not working at all
Declaration of Flynsarmy\Mfa\Classes\BackendAuthManagerHogin($user, $remember = true) must be compatible with Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard::login(Illuminate\Contra cts\Auth\Authenticatable $user, $remember = false)
your plugin is very good but right now i can't use my backend anymore. please solve it as soon as possible.
Thanks

Very easy setup and the support was ultra quick.
If you want a way to add extra security to your website admin access then this is it... with a little help from google authenticator.
Very happy with purchase.
