Google2Fa Laravel Laravel Package

pragmarx/google2fa-laravel

Laravel bridge for pragmarx/google2fa: generate QR codes and verify HOTP/TOTP (RFC 4226/6238) two-factor authentication codes compatible with Google Authenticator and similar apps. Includes config, middleware-friendly integration, and optional recovery codes via separate package.

Product Decisions This Supports

Build vs Buy: Eliminates need for custom 2FA implementation—avoids security pitfalls, reduces development time, and leverages a battle-tested solution with 1,000+ stars.
Use Cases: Securing admin panels, user account protection for sensitive data (e.g., financial/healthcare apps), and meeting compliance requirements (GDPR, PCI DSS) through multi-factor authentication.
Roadmap Integration: Enables rapid deployment of 2FA as a core security feature via middleware; supports future scaling through Laravel’s event system and stateless API compatibility.
