Google Authentication Integration in Dash SaaS

Introduction

Google Authentication, also known as two-step verification (2FA), is a security measure used to confirm a user’s identity when accessing online accounts, such as in WorkDo Dash. It requires users to provide a unique code generated by the Google Authenticator app, in addition to their password. This added layer of security is designed to ensure that the person attempting to log in is indeed the legitimate account owner. Google Authenticator employs Time-based One Time Password (TOTP) and HMAC-based One Time Password (HOTP) methods to generate temporary, one-time-use codes, enhancing the overall security of the authentication process.
