SoFri DNN User Group Meeting Presentation - DNN 2 Factor Authentication

With security a huge concern in modern time for all users, Mitch Sellers and Iowa Computer Gurus introduce a new Simple 2 Factor Authentication Provider for DNN.  This authentication provider works to replace the standard DNN Login process and introduces 2-Factor Verification to secure login.  Key features include.

• Ability to define by role memberships those that are required to complete 2 Factor Authentication.
  This allows setting of Host and Admin users to require 2 Factor Login while standard user roles receive standard DNN core login process
• Ability to determine the duration of time a 2 Factor Login is valid
• Support for content localization
• Delivery of 2 Factor Authentication Codes in the following methods
  • Email
  • (FUTURE) possible options such as Text SMS, Google Authenticator, DUO, others
