Multi-factor authentication

import Aside from "@components/Aside.astro"

Introduction

Users in Filament can sign in with their email address and password by default. However, you can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to your users' accounts.

When MFA is enabled, users must perform an extra step before they are authenticated and have access to the application.

Filament includes two methods of MFA which you can enable out of the box:

  • Google two-factor authentication uses a Google Authenticator-compatible app (such as the Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator apps) to generate a time-based one-time password (TOTP) that is used to verify the user.
  • Email code authentication sends a time-based one-time password (TOTP) to the user's email address, which they must enter to verify their identity.

In Filament, users set up multi-factor authentication from their profile page. If you use Filament's profile page feature, setting up multi-factor authentication will automatically add the correct UI elements to the profile page:

use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->profile();
}

Google two-factor authentication

To enable Google two-factor authentication in a panel, you must first add a new column to your users table (or whichever table is being used for your "authenticatable" Eloquent model in this panel). The column needs to store the secret key used to generate and verify the time-based one-time passwords. It can be a normal text() column in a migration:

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->text('google_two_factor_authentication_secret')->nullable();
});

In the User model, you need to ensure that this column is encrypted and $hidden, since this is incredibly sensitive information that should be stored securely:

use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, MustVerifyEmail
{
    // ...

    /**
     * @var array<string>
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        // ...
        'google_two_factor_authentication_secret',
    ];

    /**
     * @var array<string, string>
     */
    protected $casts = [
        // ...
        'google_two_factor_authentication_secret' => 'encrypted',
    ];
    
    // ...
}

Next, you should implement the HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication interface on the User model. This provides Filament with the necessary methods to interact with the secret code and other information about the integration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\Contracts\HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication, MustVerifyEmail
{
    // ...

    public function hasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication(): bool
    {
        // This method should return true if the user has enabled Google two-factor authentication.
        // We know that the user has enabled it if the secret is not null, but if your app has
        // another mechanism for disabling two-factor authentication even when a secret is
        // set, you should check that here.
        
        return filled($this->google_two_factor_authentication_secret);
    }

    public function getGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationSecret(): ?string
    {
        // This method should return the user's saved Google two-factor authentication secret.
    
        return $this->google_two_factor_authentication_secret;
    }

    public function saveGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationSecret(?string $secret): void
    {
        // This method should save the user's Google two-factor authentication secret.
    
        $this->google_two_factor_authentication_secret = $secret;
        $this->save();
    }

    public function getGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationHolderName(): string
    {
        // In a user's authentication app, each account can be represented by a "holder name".
        // If the user has multiple accounts in your app, it might be a good idea to use
        // their email address as then they are still uniquely identifiable.
    
        return $this->email;
    }
}

Finally, you should activate the Google two-factor authentication feature in your panel. To do this, use the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration, and pass a GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication instance to it:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make(),
        ]);
}

Setting up Google two-factor recovery codes

If your users lose access to their two-factor authentication app, they will be unable to sign in to your application. To prevent this, you can generate a set of recovery codes that users can use to sign in if they lose access to their two-factor authentication app.

In a similar way to the google_two_factor_authentication_secret column, you should add a new column to your users table (or whichever table is being used for your "authenticatable" Eloquent model in this panel). The column needs to store the recovery codes. It can be a normal text() column in a migration:

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->text('google_two_factor_authentication_recovery_codes')->nullable();
});

In the User model, you need to ensure that this column is encrypted as an array and $hidden, since this is incredibly sensitive information that should be stored securely:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\Contracts\HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication, MustVerifyEmail
{
    // ...

    /**
     * @var array<string>
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        // ...
        'google_two_factor_authentication_recovery_codes',
    ];

    /**
     * @var array<string, string>
     */
    protected $casts = [
        // ...
        'google_two_factor_authentication_recovery_codes' => 'encrypted:array',
    ];
    
    // ...
}

Next, you should implement the HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationRecovery interface on the User model. This provides Filament with the necessary methods to interact with the recovery codes:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\Contracts\HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\Contracts\HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationRecovery;
use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthentication, HasGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationRecovery, MustVerifyEmail
{
    // ...

    /**
     * @return ?array<string>
     */
    public function getGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationRecoveryCodes(): ?array
    {
        // This method should return the user's saved Google two-factor authentication recovery codes.
    
        return $this->google_two_factor_authentication_recovery_codes;
    }

    /**
     * @param  array<string> | null  $codes
     */
    public function saveGoogleTwoFactorAuthenticationRecoveryCodes(?array $codes): void
    {
        // This method should save the user's Google two-factor authentication recovery codes.
    
        $this->google_two_factor_authentication_recovery_codes = $codes;
        $this->save();
    }
}

Finally, you should activate the Google two-factor authentication recovery codes feature in your panel. To do this, pass the recoverable() method to the GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication instance in the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make()
                ->recoverable(),
        ]);
}

Changing the number of recovery codes that are generated

By default, Filament generates 8 recovery codes for each user. If you want to change this, you can use the recoveryCodeCount() method on the GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication instance in the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make()
                ->recoverable()
                ->recoveryCodeCount(10),
        ]);
}

Preventing users from regenerating their recovery codes

By default, users can visit their profile to regenerate their recovery codes. If you want to prevent this, you can use the regenerableRecoveryCodes(false) method on the GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication instance in the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make()
                ->recoverable()
                ->regenerableRecoveryCodes(false),
        ]);
}

Changing the Google two-factor code expiration time

Google two-factor codes are issued using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) algorithm, which means that they are only valid for a short period of time before and after the time they are generated. The time is defined in a "window" of time. By default, Filament uses an expiration window of 8, which allows the code to be valid for 4 minutes after it is generated.

To change the window, for example to only be valid for 2 minutes after it is generated, you can use the codeWindow() method on the GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication instance, set to 4:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make()
                ->codeWindow(4),
        ]);
}

Customizing the Google two-factor authentication brand name

Each Google two-factor authentication integration has a "brand name" that is displayed in the authentication app. By default, this is the name of your app. If you want to change this, you can use the brandName() method on the GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication instance in the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make()
                ->brandName('Filament Demo'),
        ]);
}

Email code authentication

Email code authentication sends the user time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) to their email address, which they must enter to verify their identity. These TOTP codes are generated using the same algorithm as Google two-factor authentication.

To enable email code authentication in a panel, you must first add a new column to your users table (or whichever table is being used for your "authenticatable" Eloquent model in this panel). The column needs to store the secret key used to generate and verify the time-based one-time passwords. It can be a normal text() column in a migration:

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->text('email_code_authentication_secret')->nullable();
});

In the User model, you need to ensure that this column is encrypted and $hidden, since this is incredibly sensitive information that should be stored securely:

use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, MustVerifyEmail
{
    // ...

    /**
     * @var array<string>
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        // ...
        'email_code_authentication_secret',
    ];
    
    /**
     * @var array<string, string>
     */
    protected $casts = [
        // ...
        'email_code_authentication_secret' => 'encrypted',
    ];
    
    // ...
}

Next, you should implement the HasEmailCodeAuthentication interface on the User model. This provides Filament with the necessary methods to interact with the secret code and other information about the integration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\EmailCode\Contracts\HasEmailCodeAuthentication;
use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasEmailCodeAuthentication, MustVerifyEmail
{
    // ...

    public function hasEmailCodeAuthentication(): bool
    {
        // This method should return true if the user has enabled email code authentication.
        // We know that the user has enabled it if the secret is not null, but if your app has
        // another mechanism for disabling email code authentication even when a secret is
        // set, you should check that here.
        
        return filled($this->email_code_authentication_secret);
    }

    public function getEmailCodeAuthenticationSecret(): ?string
    {
        // This method should return the user's saved email code authentication secret.
    
        return $this->email_code_authentication_secret;
    }

    public function saveEmailCodeAuthenticationSecret(?string $secret): void
    {
        // This method should save the user's email code authentication secret.
    
        $this->email_code_authentication_secret = $secret;
        $this->save();
    }
}

Finally, you should activate the email code authentication feature in your panel. To do this, use the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration, and pass an EmailCodeAuthentication instance to it:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\EmailCode\EmailCodeAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            EmailCodeAuthentication::make(),
        ]);
}

Changing the email code expiration time

Email codes are issued using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) algorithm, which means that they are only valid for a short period of time before and after the time they are generated. The time is defined in a "window" of time. By default, Filament uses an expiration window of 8, which allows the code to be valid for 4 minutes after it is generated.

To change the window, for example to only be valid for 2 minutes after it is generated, you can use the codeWindow() method on the EmailCodeAuthentication instance, set to 4:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\EmailCode\EmailCodeAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            EmailCodeAuthentication::make()
                ->codeWindow(4),
        ]);
}

Requiring multi-factor authentication

By default, users are not required to set up multi-factor authentication. You can require users to configure it by passing isRequired: true as a parameter to the multiFactorAuthentication() method in the configuration:

use Filament\Auth\MultiFactor\GoogleTwoFactor\GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        // ...
        ->multiFactorAuthentication([
            GoogleTwoFactorAuthentication::make(),
        ], isRequired: true);
}

When this is enabled, users will be prompted to set up multi-factor authentication after they sign in, if they have not already done so.

Security notes about multi-factor authentication

In Filament, the multi-factor authentication process occurs before the user is actually authenticated into the app. This allows you to be sure that no users can authenticate and access the app without passing the multi-factor authentication step. You do not need to remember to add middleware to any of your authenticated routes to ensure that users completed the multi-factor authentication step.

However, if you have other parts of your Laravel app that authenticate users, please bear in mind that they will not be challenged for multi-factor authentication if they are already authenticated elsewhere and then visit the panel, unless multi-factor authentication is required and they have not set it up yet.
