Two-Factor Authentication (TOTP) in ASP.NET Core: Using Google Authenticator & MVC Identity
In this video, we dive deep into securing your applications with two-factor authentication using TOTP in .NET Core. We move beyond basic passwords to explore how TOTP 2 factor authentication provides a critical defense against credential theft.
What You Will Learn:
The Essentials: Understanding 2 factor authentication (or 2 factor) and why the Time-based One-Time Password algorithm is the industry standard for 2 factor authentication in asp.net core.
App Integration: How to sync two factor authentication in asp.net core with popular tools like google authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator.
The Handshake: We walk through using two factor authentication in asp.net core by generating shared secrets and encoding them for QR code setup.
Modern API Development: Building a QR code endpoint in a .NET 10 API and how to use two factor authentication in asp.net core with the OTP.NET library.
Reliability & Security: Handling asp.net core clock synchronization, verification windows, and why your dotnet core secrets must be encrypted at rest.
Full-Stack Context: Implementing dotnet core two factor authentication within asp.net core mvc (or traditional mvc) to ensure robust authentication in asp.net core.
Why This Matters for Developers:-
Whether you are working in modern .net or dot net, or maintaining existing asp.net mvc systems, understanding the nuances of authentication in asp.net is vital. We don't just stop at "logging in"—we cover the critical difference between identity and authorization in asp.net core, ensuring your production-ready flow includes recovery options and secure secret storage.
