Better Web API Security With Two Factor Authentication Using Identity

Hi everyone. My name is Marinko Spasojevic and in this video, I will show you how to create a more secure authentication flow in your web api apps using Two Factor Authentication with ASP.NET Core Identity. For those of you not aware of what two-factor authentication is, it is a process, where a user after entering valid credentials needs to enter an additional OTP (One-Time-Password, received via email or SMS) for the authentication to be successful. This improves the authentication flow a lot and makes it even more secure.

So, let’s see how we can do this.

What's the point of 2FA on a web API if it is assumed that machines are going to be connecting with their client and secret using the OAuth flow?
