Backup codes are one-time authentication codes, which can be used instead of the actual codes. They're meant as emergency codes, when the authentication device is not available and you have to pass the two-factor authentication process.
Enable the feature in the configuration:
# config/packages/scheb_two_factor.yaml
scheb_two_factor:
backup_codes:
enabled: false # If the backup code feature should be enabled
Backup codes have to be provided from the user object. The user entity has to implement
Scheb\TwoFactorBundle\Model\BackupCodeInterface
. Here's an example:
<?php
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Scheb\TwoFactorBundle\Model\BackupCodeInterface;
class User implements BackupCodeInterface
{
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="json_array")
*/
private $backupCodes;
// [...]
/**
* Check if it is a valid backup code.
*
* @param string $code
*
* @return bool
*/
public function isBackupCode(string $code): bool
{
return in_array($code, $this->backupCodes);
}
/**
* Invalidate a backup code
*
* @param string $code
*/
public function invalidateBackupCode(string $code): void
{
$key = array_search($code, $this->backupCodes);
if ($key !== false){
unset($this->backupCodes[$key]);
}
}
}
The example assumes that there are already codes generated for that user. In addition to this, you should implement the backup code (re-)generation as you prefer.
If you don't like the way this is implemented, you can also have your own backup code manager. Create a service
implementing Scheb\TwoFactorBundle\Security\TwoFactor\Backup\BackupCodeManagerInterface
and register it in the
configuration:
# config/packages/scheb_two_factor.yaml
scheb_two_factor:
backup_codes:
manager: acme.custom_backup_code_manager # Use a custom backup code manager
