Introduction
This document outlines the user stories for the 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) Project. The aim is to capture user requirements in a simple and understandable format to implement 2FA effectively.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a clear set of user stories that will guide the development and implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) for our system. This will ensure enhanced security for our users by requiring a second form of verification.
Scope
The scope of this document includes the requirements and user stories necessary to implement 2FA for user authentication in our system.
User Stories
User Story 1: Enable 2FA
- As a: Registered User
- I want to: Enable 2FA on my account
- So that: My account has an additional layer of security
Description
Users should have the option to enable two-factor authentication via their account settings. This will require them to set up a secondary method for authentication, such as an authentication app or SMS.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can enable 2FA via their account settings.
- Users are presented with options for 2FA methods (e.g., authentication app, SMS).
- Users are guided through the setup process for their chosen 2FA method.
Notes
Consider providing a step-by-step guide or tutorial for enabling 2FA.
User Story 2: Verify 2FA Code
- As a: Registered User with 2FA enabled
- I want to: Verify my 2FA code during login
- So that: I can access my account securely
Description
When a user with 2FA enabled logs in, they should be prompted to enter a verification code from their chosen 2FA method.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users are prompted for a 2FA verification code after entering their username and password.
- The system validates the 2FA code.
- Users are granted access to their account upon successful validation of the 2FA code.
Notes
Provide clear error messages if the verification code is incorrect or expired.
User Story 3: Backup Codes
- As a: Registered User with 2FA enabled
- I want to: Generate and store backup codes
- So that: I can access my account if I lose access to my primary 2FA method
Description
Users should have the option to generate backup codes that can be used for account recovery if they lose access to their primary 2FA method.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can generate a set of backup codes.
- Backup codes are presented to the user in a secure manner.
- Users can use backup codes to log into their accounts if they lose access to their primary 2FA method.
Notes
Ensure that backup codes are stored securely and are presented only once for the user to save.
Acceptance Criteria
The general acceptance criteria for the user stories are:
- The 2FA implementation should be user-friendly and secure.
- Users should have multiple options for their 2FA method.
- The system should provide clear instructions and error messages.
- Backup mechanisms should be in place for account recovery.
