Easy Two Factor Authentication (2FA) with Google Authenticator.
What is Two Factor Authentication?
2FA is nothing new. In fact it’s already been widely adopted by most major platforms (Facebook, Apple, Google etc) as a means of making account logins more secure. Two Factor Authentication, also known as 2FA, two step verification or TFA (as an acronym), is an extra layer of security that is known as “multi factor authentication” that requires not only a password and username but also something that only, and only, that user has on them, i.e. a piece of information only they should know or have immediately to hand — such as a physical token.

How it works?
Normally the token is a physical device that the most common cases generate random passwords based on time change every second interval or every new request. Some banks have used these devices to reinforce the security of access and transactions. For those not familiar, Google Authenticator is an application that generates these random codes. It is present today for Android, iOS, and Blackberry.
What's it?
Second-Factor authentication is a security method that we can use as a supplement. Besides the user's login and password, it's necessary to enter a random password generated by a device called a token, in this case, Google Authenticator.
How it's used in MagnusBilling?
After this addon is activated in your MBilling server, you will be able to activate the authentication token for any user. To do this, you'd need to select the user and activate the Token option. After the activation, during the user's next login they will be presented with a window asking for the token. From now on, every time the user logs in they'll need to go through these steps again.
