Product Decisions This Supports

Enables secure, user-friendly two-factor authentication (2FA) setup via QR codes during onboarding or account security configuration, eliminating manual secret entry errors.
Reduces build-vs-buy tradeoffs by providing a ready-to-integrate QR generation solution, avoiding custom development risks (e.g., insecure Google API calls) and compliance gaps.
Supports flexible rendering (SVG/PNG) with minimal dependencies (e.g., chillerlan/php-qrcode avoids Imagick), simplifying infrastructure requirements.
Critical for compliance-driven use cases (GDPR, HIPAA) where multi-factor authentication is mandatory, accelerating security feature delivery without reinventing core functionality.

When to Consider This Package

✅ When your Laravel application requires 2FA setup via QR codes and uses pragmarx/google2fa for TOTP logic.
✅ When you need secure, local QR rendering (no external APIs) with options for SVG/PNG output and lightweight dependencies.
✅ For projects using PHP ≥7.1 and compatible with BaconQrCode or chillerlan/php-qrcode dependencies.
❌ When your 2FA flow uses manual secret entry only (no QR code requirement).
