Securify TFA is now live on PH

The TFA (Two Factor API) is the evolution of the current unsafe methods of SMS and e-mail for 2FA by bringing the ease of use and security of end-to-end encryption of communication applications like Telegram to exchange 2FA codes.

    Can you please explain a bit more what exactly this API is offering? Is this an Auth0 competitor? Or more in the line of the Authy API?

    1. 1

      The Securify TFA (Two Factor API) is a 2-Factor-Authentication API that uses (at the moment, only) Telegram for the end-user to receive the 2FA codes.

      So you as an application developer would use this API to set up a user, that receives a Telegram link that opens the SecurifyBot.

      After the end-user confirms the link with the Telegram bot he will receive the 2FA codes to authenticate in the application.

      So basically the Securify TFA is an API that allows developers to integrate 2FA authentication in their applications and allows end-user to use existing communication apps to receive the codes.

      The goal is to provide 2FA without using insecure channels like SMS or e-mail which can be breached, unlike Telegram, which uses end-to-end encryption on all communications.

      Hope to have clarified your questions.

        Ah, now I get it. This was not clear to me before.

        This is an interesting idea. Using Telegram, or WhatsApp or other end-to-end encrypted messengers could indeed be a channel that users in some niches prefer.

        1. 1

          Precisely, that is the idea, not just the security of end-to-end encrypted messengers, but also the ease of use to the end-user.

          In some markets, like Asia, Telegram is widely used as a messenger app.

          Thanks for the feedback, I might adjust a bit the landing page to properly explain the idea and end goal.
