Google Authenticator PHP class
, (*1)
This PHP class can be used to interact with the Google Authenticator mobile app for 2-factor-authentication. This class
can generate secrets, generate codes, validate codes and present a QR-Code for scanning the secret. It implements TOTP
according to RFC6238, (*2)
For a secure installation you have to make sure that used codes cannot be reused (replay-attack). You also need to
limit the number of verifications, to fight against brute-force attacks. For example you could limit the amount of
verifications to 10 tries within 10 minutes for one IP address (or IPv6 block). It depends on your environment., (*3)
Usage:
See following example:, (*4)
<?php
require_once 'PHPGangsta/GoogleAuthenticator.php';
$ga = new PHPGangsta_GoogleAuthenticator();
$secret = $ga->createSecret();
echo "Secret is: ".$secret."\n\n";
$qrCodeUrl = $ga->getQRCodeGoogleUrl('Blog', $secret);
echo "Google Charts URL for the QR-Code: ".$qrCodeUrl."\n\n";
$oneCode = $ga->getCode($secret);
echo "Checking Code '$oneCode' and Secret '$secret':\n";
$checkResult = $ga->verifyCode($secret, $oneCode, 2); // 2 = 2*30sec clock tolerance
if ($checkResult) {
echo 'OK';
} else {
echo 'FAILED';
}
Running the script provides the following output:, (*5)
Secret is: OQB6ZZGYHCPSX4AK
Google Charts URL for the QR-Code: https://www.google.com/chart?chs=200x200&chld=M|0&cht=qr&chl=otpauth://totp/infoATphpgangsta.de%3Fsecret%3DOQB6ZZGYHCPSX4AK
Checking Code '848634' and Secret 'OQB6ZZGYHCPSX4AK':
OK
