Introduction
This document provides user stories related to the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for enhancing security measures.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to capture the user requirements for implementing 2FA in a clear and understandable format, ensuring that all stakeholders have a common understanding of the desired functionality.
Scope
This document pertains to the implementation of 2FA in our existing authentication system.
User Stories
User Story 1: Enable 2FA
- As a: User
- I want to: Enable 2FA for my account
- So that: My account is more secure
Description
Users should have the option to enable 2FA in their account settings. Once enabled, users will need to provide an additional verification method (e.g., SMS, email, authenticator app) during login.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can navigate to the account settings and find the option to enable 2FA.
- Upon enabling, users are prompted to choose a verification method (SMS, email, authenticator app).
- Users receive a confirmation message upon successfully enabling 2FA.
Notes
- Ensure that the user interface for enabling 2FA is intuitive and user-friendly.
- Provide users with instructions on how to set up 2FA.
User Story 2: Authentication Prompt
- As a: User
- I want to: Be prompted for a second factor of authentication during login
- So that: My identity can be verified securely
Description
Once 2FA is enabled, users should be prompted to enter a second factor (e.g., a code sent to their phone or generated by an authenticator app) after entering their password.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users are prompted for a second factor of authentication after entering their password.
- Users can choose to receive the 2FA code via SMS, email, or an authenticator app.
- The login process is completed successfully only after the correct 2FA code is entered.
Notes
- Ensure that the authentication prompt is secure and resistant to phishing attacks.
- Provide users with the option to remember their device for a specified period.
User Story 3: Backup Codes
- As a: User
- I want to: Receive backup codes when enabling 2FA
- So that: I can access my account if I lose access to my primary 2FA method
Description
When users enable 2FA, they should receive a set of backup codes that can be used to access their account if they lose access to their primary 2FA method.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users receive a set of backup codes upon enabling 2FA.
- Users can use these backup codes to log in if they cannot access their primary 2FA method.
- Users can regenerate new backup codes if necessary.
Notes
- Inform users to store their backup codes in a secure location.
- Provide clear instructions on how to use backup codes during the login process.
Acceptance Criteria
The general acceptance criteria for the user stories include:
- All user interfaces should be intuitive and user-friendly.
- The 2FA process should be secure and resistant to phishing and other attacks.
- Users should receive clear instructions and feedback throughout the 2FA process.
