Integrating Two-Factor Authentication in Laravel with Vonage

What's this blog post about?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an important security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to user accounts by requiring a second form of verification, in addition to a password or other identifying information. By using the Vonage Verify API, developers can easily integrate 2FA into their Laravel applications, providing users with an additional layer of security and peace of mind. The benefits of 2FA include reduced risk of account takeover, improved trust and confidence among users, and reduced fraudulent activity. By implementing 2FA in a user-friendly manner, developers can help protect their users' sensitive information and maintain the integrity of their applications. Additionally, 2FA provides flexibility for users to choose the channels they prefer to receive verification codes, and it allows developers to implement features such as friendly forwarding, re-verifying 2FA periodically, and providing backup options for users in emergency situations.
