A backend service (micro-service) for implementing two-factor authentication using Node.js and Google Authenticator.

Node Google Authenticator Backend Service

Description

A server-side Node application with two-factor authentication. Heavily inspired by Marcin Wanago's express-typescript repository.

This is a small backend service that can be hosted as a micro-service or integrated into an existing node application to provide two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app, like Google Authenticator. In addition, it is forward thinking and comes with support for QR codes.

This is a companion repository to an article I wrote on two-factor authentication with Node and Google Authenticator.
