Two-factor authentication (2FA) strengthens authentication with an additional layer of security that requires presenting an extra piece of evidence (the factor) to an authentication mechanism of a website or application.
In Probely, you can scan websites or applications that use 2FA by configuring it in the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) section of your target settings.
After setting up your target authentication with Login Form or Login Sequence, you have two options at your disposal to configure the 2FA:
Time-based One-time Password (TOTP)
Choose this option if, in your 2FA scenario, the factor is obtained using an authenticator like Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator, which provides a random code that changes frequently. This random and temporary code is called a Time-based One-time Password (TOTP).
To configure this option, read this article on How to set up Target 2FA with TOTP.
Other OTP
Choose this option if, in your 2FA scenario, the factor is obtained as a random code sent through a communication channel like an email or a text message. This random code is called a One-time Password (OTP).
To configure this option, read this article on How to set up Target 2FA using an alternative OTP.
