Implement Phone verification, 2FA using ASP.NET Core Identity (Damien Bowden) damienbod.com

This post shows how to implement phone (SMS) verification and two-factor authentication (2FA) using ASP.NET Core Identity. The solution integrates phone-based verification and 2FA mechanisms. The implementation uses ASP.NET Core Identity’s extensibility to incorporate SMS-based verification during user registration and login processes. SMS is no longer a recommended authentication method due to security risks but does provide a good solution for some business cases or user flows like onboarding phone users or phone applications, frontline workers with no desktop or other such solutions with limited security possibilities.
