2FA (Two-Factor Authentication):
A security method that requires users to provide two different forms of identification before accessing an account, typically a password plus a code sent to their phone, enhances account protection.
CAPTCHA:
A test used to distinguish humans from bots on websites, usually by asking users to identify distorted text, images, or checkboxes, preventing automated abuse.
Development and Planning for 2FA at Scutum Product Development
As part of our roadmap, we prioritize developing Two-Factor Authentication(2FA) and CAPTCHA mechanisms to boost platform security. Detailed user stories and development plans have been created, and implementation is set to begin in early 2025.
User Story Creation in our Product Backlog
2FA:
As a user, I want to enable 2FA for my account to add an extra layer of security to my login process. As an admin, I want to enforce mandatory 2FA for high-privilege accounts to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
CAPTCHA:
As a user, I want to complete a simple CAPTCHA during login to verify that I am not a bot. As a system, I want to dynamically adapt the CAPTCHA complexity based on suspicious activity to prevent brute-force attacks.
Expected Outcomes
– Reduced risk of unauthorized access through robust authenticationmeasures.
– Improved user confidence in the platform’s security.
– Compliance with industry standards and regulations for secure access.authentication measures
