Introduction
This document provides an overview of the user stories for implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance security for our users.
Purpose
The purpose of this User Stories document is to capture user requirements related to the implementation of 2FA in a simple and understandable format. This will ensure that the development team understands the needs and expectations of the users.
Scope
This document pertains to the implementation of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for the system to enhance user account security.
User Stories
User Story 1: Enable 2FA
- As a: User
- I want to: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for my account
- So that: I can add an extra layer of security to my login process
Description
Users should be able to enable 2FA from their account settings. Once enabled, they will be required to set up 2FA using a method such as SMS, email, or an authentication app.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can navigate to account settings and find the 2FA option.
- Users can choose their preferred 2FA method (SMS, email, authentication app).
- Users receive a confirmation message once 2FA is successfully enabled.
Notes
- Ensure the user interface is user-friendly and guides users through the process.
- Provide help documentation or support for users who encounter issues.
User Story 2: Verify 2FA Code
- As a: User
- I want to: Verify my 2FA code during login
- So that: I can complete the login process securely
Description
After entering their username and password, users will be prompted to enter a 2FA code sent to their chosen method. The login will only be successful if the correct 2FA code is provided.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users are prompted to enter a 2FA code after entering their username and password.
- The system sends the 2FA code to the user's chosen method (SMS, email, authentication app).
- Users can successfully log in after entering the correct 2FA code.
- Users receive an error message if the 2FA code is incorrect or expired.
Notes
- Consider implementing a timeout for the 2FA code.
- Provide options for users to resend the 2FA code if not received.
User Story 3: Backup Authentication Methods
- As a: User
- I want to: Set up backup authentication methods
- So that: I can still access my account if my primary 2FA method is unavailable
Description
Users should have the option to set up backup methods for 2FA, such as backup codes or alternative contact methods, to ensure they can still access their account if their primary method is not available.
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can set up backup authentication methods in their account settings.
- Users can generate and securely store backup codes.
- Users can use backup codes to log in if their primary 2FA method is unavailable.
Notes
- Ensure backup codes are secure and can be regenerated if necessary.
- Provide clear instructions on how to use backup methods.
Acceptance Criteria
- 2FA can be enabled and configured by users.
- The system prompts users to verify their 2FA code during login.
- Users can set up and use backup authentication methods.
- 2FA implementation does not degrade the user experience.
