Summary

Integrate Two-Factor Authentication into a Laravel Application with Laravel Breeze, Livewire, Alpine.js, and Twilio Verify. The application requires authentication to secure it and restrict access to authenticated users only. Two Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code generated by an application or physical token such as a Yubikey. This tutorial integrates 2FA into a Laravel application using Laravel Breeze, Livewire, Alpine.js, and Twilio Verify. The application requires experience with the Tall Stack, PHP 8, a Twilio account, one of Laravel's supported databases, Composer installed globally, and prior knowledge of Laravel and Laravel Breeze. The tutorial creates a new Laravel project, installs Laravel Breeze, modifies the user registration form to include a phone number field, updates the database migration file to save the user phone number, and adds middleware to enforce 2FA. The application redirects users to the phone verify page after registration or login, verifies the phone number using Twilio Verify, and enforces 2FA by checking the phone_verified property in the User model. The tutorial also demonstrates how to hide error messages with Alpine.js and add a resend feature.
