Steps to configure 2FA method with Headless Drupal using Two Factor Authentication - 2FA / Passwordless Login module:

1. Setup Drupal as Headless 2FA

2. Steps to integrate Headless/ Decoupled 2FA:

• Minimum requirement for integrating 2FA with Drupal :
1. Login page : Having Username and Password fields
2. OTP Page: Having OTP fields

2.1 Authenticate users by sending Username and Password

• The first step is to authenticate users by sending Username and Password to our /headless/authenticate endpoint (API) so they can authenticate against the Drupal database. Once the user is authenticated successfully, OTP will be sent to registered mobile/email (depending on the configuration).

API: POST {drupal-base-URL}/headless/authenticate.
What you will send:
{"username":"xxxxx","password":"xxxxx","apiKey":"xxxxx"}
If successful, you will receive back the following response:
{"username":"xxxxx","status":"SUCCESS","message":"xxxxx","transactionID":"xxxxx","authType":"xxxxx"}


• With the following parameters:
  

PARAMETER	TYPE	REQUIRED?	DESCRIPTION
username	string	required	Entered by the user on the login form.
password	string	required	Entered by the user on the login form.
apiKey	string	required	Send the apiKey provided in the module.

2.2 Validate the user by sending OTP

• The second step is to validate the user by sending OTP (One time passcode) to our /headless/login endpoint (API).

API: POST {drupal-base-URL}/headless/login
What you will send:
{"username":"xxxxx","transactionID":"xxxxx","authType":"xxxxx","otp":"xxxxx","apiKey":"xxxxx"}
If successful, you will receive back the following response:
{"username":"xxxxx","status":"SUCCESS","message":"xxxxx","userprofile":"xxxxx"}


• With the following parameters:

PARAMETER	TYPE	REQUIRED?	DESCRIPTION
username	string	required	You will get this in response to the first API call.
transactionID	string	required	You will get this in response to the first API call.
authType	string	required	You will get this in response to the first API call.
