Features

✅ TOTP (RFC 6238) — SHA1 / SHA256 / SHA512; configurable digits / period / window
✅ Base32 secrets — generate & decode for authenticator apps
✅ otpauth URIs — compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.
✅ Backup codes — plaintext generation + secure password_hash/password_verify
✅ QR generator (SVG Data URI) — via endroid/qr-code
✅ Security add-ons — Attempt limiter, replay protection, unified Verifier
✅ Frameworks — Laravel ServiceProvider (auto-discovery) & Symfony console command
✅ Zero-heavy deps — Only endroid/qr-code for QR (core TOTP is dependency-free)

Installation

composer require ndtan/php-2fa

PHP 8.1+ is required.

Quick Start (Plain PHP)

<?php
use ndtan\TwoFA\Totp\Totp;
use ndtan\TwoFA\QR\EndroidQrProvider;

// 1) Generate a Base32 secret
$secret = Totp::generateSecret(); // e.g. "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP..."

// 2) Build otpauth URI
$uri = Totp::buildOtpAuthUri('user@example.com', 'MyApp', $secret);

// 3) Render QR (SVG Data URI)
$qr = (new EndroidQrProvider())->render($uri, 256, true); // "data:image/svg+xml;base64,..."

// 4) Verify user input (±1 step = ±30s window)
$result = Totp::verify($secret, $userInputCode, period: 30, digits: 6, algo: 'sha1', window: 1);
if ($result['valid']) {
    // success
}

Tip: keep your server clock synchronized (NTP).

Backup Codes

use ndtan\TwoFA\Backup\BackupCodes;

// Generate one-time backup codes for the user
$codes  = BackupCodes::generate(count: 10, length: 10);

// Store **hashes** only
$hashes = array_map(fn($c) => BackupCodes::hash($c), $codes);

// Verify later
$isValid = BackupCodes::verify($inputBackupCode, $storedHash);

QR Codes

The package includes an SVG QR provider (EndroidQrProvider) that returns a Data URI string you can embed directly in HTML <img> tags.

$qrDataUri = (new EndroidQrProvider())->render($otpauthUri); // data:image/svg+xml;base64,...

// HTML
// <img src="<?= htmlspecialchars($qrDataUri, ENT_QUOTES) ?>" alt="Scan QR">

Framework Integrations

Laravel

Auto-discovered provider: ndtan\TwoFA\Laravel\NdtTwoFaServiceProvider
Container bindings:
- ndt.twofa.totp → TOTP utilities
- ndt.twofa.qr → QR provider (SVG)

Example (Controller):

$secret = \ndtan\TwoFA\Totp\Totp::generateSecret();
$uri    = \ndtan\TwoFA\Totp\Totp::buildOtpAuthUri($user->email, 'MyApp', $secret);
$qr     = app('ndt.twofa.qr')->render($uri);

Route middleware (optional):

// Alias 'ndt.2fa' is auto-registered by the ServiceProvider
Route::middleware('ndt.2fa')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', DashboardController::class);
});

Symfony

Console command:

php bin/console ndt2fa:secret user@example.com MyApp

Prints the secret, otpauth URI, and QR (data URI).

Secure Verification (Rate Limit + Replay Protection)

Use the built-in AttemptLimiter, UsedCodeStore, and Verifier to harden your flow.

use ndtan\TwoFA\Security\Stores\ArrayRateStore;
use ndtan\TwoFA\Security\Stores\ArrayUsedCodeStore;
use ndtan\TwoFA\Security\AttemptLimiter;
use ndtan\TwoFA\Security\Verifier;

$limiter  = new AttemptLimiter(new ArrayRateStore(), maxAttempts: 5, perSeconds: 300, lockoutSeconds: 300);
$used     = new ArrayUsedCodeStore();
$verifier = new Verifier($limiter, $used); // defaults: period=30, digits=6, algo='sha1', window=1

$res = $verifier->verifyTotp('user:42', $secret, $userCode);
switch ($res['status']) {
  case 'ok':          /* mark session verified */ break;
  case 'rate_limited':/* advise retry in $res['retry_after'] seconds */ break;
  case 'replayed':    /* code already used in current period */ break;
  default:            /* invalid: $res['remaining'] attempts left */ break;
}

Distributed cache (Redis/Memcached) via PSR‑16:

$cache   = /* any PSR-16 CacheInterface implementation */;
$limiter = new AttemptLimiter(new \ndtan\TwoFA\Security\Stores\Psr16RateStore($cache));

See docs/RATE_LIMITING.md and docs/SECURITY.md for details.

API Reference

`Totp`

generateSecret(int $bytes = 20): string
hotp(string $secretBase32, int $counter, int $digits = 6, string $algo = 'sha1'): string
totp(string $secretBase32, int $period = 30, int $digits = 6, string $algo = 'sha1', ?int $timestamp = null): string
verify(string $secretBase32, string $code, int $period = 30, int $digits = 6, string $algo = 'sha1', int $window = 1, ?int $timestamp = null): array{valid:bool,delta:?int}
buildOtpAuthUri(string $accountLabel, string $issuer, string $secretBase32, int $period = 30, int $digits = 6, string $algo = 'sha1'): string

`BackupCodes`

generate(int $count = 10, int $length = 10, ?string $alphabet = null): array
hash(string $code): string
verify(string $code, string $hash): bool

Security utilities

AttemptLimiter::__construct(RateStoreInterface $store, int $maxAttempts = 5, int $perSeconds = 300, int $lockoutSeconds = 300)
Verifier::verifyTotp(string $subjectKey, string $secretBase32, string $code): array
ArrayRateStore, Psr16RateStore, ArrayUsedCodeStore

Security Notes

Store TOTP secrets encrypted at rest.
Store backup codes as hashes only.
Allow a small drift window (window=1) and keep servers time‑synced (NTP).
Rate‑limit attempts and prevent code replay using the built‑in utilities.
