Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (also known as 2FA) is a method of confirming a user's identity by utilizing something they know + something they have.  In this setup they know their password, and a text is sent to their phone to verify something they have.

When this module is enabled all admins and vendors will be prompted to enter their mobile phone number when they login.  Once this has been entered they will need to verify their login with a unique 6 digit pin sent to their phone before they can access the admin and/or vendor section.

The pin is valid for 5 minutes, if it is not entered after 5 minutes the user will be fully logged out and must login again, and another pin will be generated and sent to the users phone.
