Basic functionality

Installing the 2FA module on Drupal
The module is installed via Composer or Drush. Once activated, the administrator can configure 2FA for their account.

Secure login to Drupal
After entering their password, your friend must open Authy on their phone to retrieve the code and enter it into the Drupal interface.

Usage on A2Hosting
A2Hosting offers 2FA for client accounts and, in some cases, for cPanel. Authy can also be used to secure these access points.

What is Authy?
Authy is a two-factor authentication (2FA) application developed by Twilio. It generates temporary codes to secure logins.

Basic functionality
When a user attempts to log in, Authy generates a one-time password (OTP) that remains valid for a few seconds; this must be entered after the password.

Compatibility with Drupal
Drupal does not offer 2FA natively, but modules such as Google Authenticator Login or miniOrange 2FA are compatible with Authy.

Backup and recovery
Some modules allow for the configuration of backup codes or alternative methods to use in the event that the phone is lost or access to the 2FA application is unavailable.

Impact on the publishing routine
You should account for a few extra seconds to enter the 2FA code when logging into Drupal to publish or move an article.

Security vs. speed
Although 2FA slightly slows down the login process, it is essential for protecting the revenue generated by articles and ensuring the integrity of the site.
