Cuándo usar esta receta

Verify your 2FA implementation follows best practices. Test standard and enhanced TOTP configs, ensure backup codes are properly generated and stored.

Pasos

1

Generate standard TOTP

Indicación:Generate TOTP with SHA-1, 6 digits, 30-second period — the standard Google Authenticator config
2

Generate enhanced TOTP

Indicación:Generate TOTP with SHA-256, 8 digits, 60-second period — enhanced security variant
3

Create backup codes

Indicación:Generate 10 backup recovery codes (12 characters each, alphanumeric uppercase)
4

Secure backup code storage

Indicación:Hash each backup code with bcrypt for secure database storage

Preguntas frecuentes

SHA-1 vs SHA-256 for TOTP — does it matter?

SHA-1 is the standard (RFC 6238) and compatible with all authenticator apps. SHA-256 is more secure but not universally supported. Stick with SHA-1 for compatibility.

How many backup codes should I provide?

8-10 single-use codes. Store hashes only (like passwords). Mark as used after each use. Allow regeneration which invalidates all previous codes.
