### Google Two-Factor Authentication for PHP Package
Google2FA is a PHP implementation of the Google Two-Factor Authentication Module, supporting the HMAC-Based One-time Password (HOTP) algorithm specified in [RFC 4226](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4226) and the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm specified in [RFC 6238](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238).
This package is agnostic, but also supports the Laravel Framework.
## Requirements
- PHP 5.4+
## Compatibility
You don't need Laravel to use it, but it's compatible with
- Laravel 4.1+
- Laravel 5+## Installing
Use Composer to install it:
composer require pragmarx/google2fa
If you prefer inline QRCodes instead of a Google generated url, you'll need to install [BaconQrCode](https://github.com/Bacon/BaconQrCode):
composer require "bacon/bacon-qr-code":"~1.0"## Installing on Laravel
Add the Service Provider and Facade alias to your `app/config/app.php` (Laravel 4.x) or `config/app.php` (Laravel 5.x):
PragmaRX\Google2FA\Vendor\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,
'Google2FA' => PragmaRX\Google2FA\Vendor\Laravel\Facade::class,
## Using It
#### Instantiate it directly
use PragmaRX\Google2FA\Google2FA;
$google2fa = new Google2FA();
return $google2fa->generateSecretKey();#### In Laravel you can use the IoC Container and the contract
$google2fa = app()->make('PragmaRX\Google2FA\Contracts\Google2FA');
return $google2fa->generateSecretKey();#### Or Method Injection, in Laravel 5
use PragmaRX\Google2FA\Contracts\Google2FA;
class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
public function generateKey(Google2FA $google2fa)
{
return $google2fa->generateSecretKey();
}
}#### Or the Facade
return Google2FA::generateSecretKey();
## How To Generate And Use Two Factor Authentication
Generate a secret key for your user and save it:
$user = User::find(1);
$user->google2fa_secret = Google2FA::generateSecretKey();
$user->save();
Show the QR code to your user:
$google2fa_url = Google2FA::getQRCodeGoogleUrl(
'YourCompany',
$user->email,
$user->google2fa_secret
);{{ HTML::image($google2fa_url) }}
And they should see and scan the QR code to their applications:

And to verify, you just have to:
$secret = Input::get('secret');
$valid = Google2FA::verifyKey($user->google2fa_secret, $secret);
## Server Time
It's really important that you keep your server time in sync with some NTP server, on Ubuntu you can add this to the crontab:
ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
## Using a Bigger and Prefixing the Secret Key
Although the probability of collision of a 16 bytes (128 bits) random string is very low, you can harden it by:
#### Use a bigger key$secretKey = $google2fa->generateSecretKey(32); // defaults to 16 bytes
#### Prefix it
$secretKey = $google2fa->generateSecretKey(16, $userId);
#### Generating Inline QRCodes
First you have to install the BaconQrCode package, as stated above, then you just have to generate the inline string using:
$inlineUrl = Google2FA::getQRCodeInline(
$companyName,
$companyEmail,
$secretKey
);And use it in your blade template this way:
## Demos
Here's a demo app showing how to use Google2FA: [google2fa-example](https://github.com/antonioribeiro/google2fa-example).
You can scan the QR code on [this page](https://antoniocarlosribeiro.com/technology/google2fa) with a Google Authenticator app and view the code changing (almost) in real time.
## Google Authenticator Apps:
To use the two factor authentication, your user will have to install a Google Authenticator compatible app, those are some of the currently available:
* [Authy for iOS, Android, Chrome, OS X](https://www.authy.com/)
* [FreeOTP for iOS, Android and Peeble](https://fedorahosted.org/freeotp/)
* [FreeOTP for iOS, Android and Peeble](https://www.toopher.com/)
* [Google Authenticator for iOS](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8")
* [Google Authenticator for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2")
* [Google Authenticator for Blackberry](https://m.google.com/authenticator")
* [Google Authenticator (port) on Windows app store](http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/google-authenticator/7ea6de74-dddb-47df-92cb-40afac4d38bb")
* [Microsoft Authenticator for Windows Phone](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/authenticator/9wzdncrfj3rj)
* [1Password for iOS, Android, OSX, Windows](https://1password.com)## Tests
The package tests were written with [phpspec](http://www.phpspec.net/en/latest/).
