title: “Two Factor Authentication”
weight: 1
Two Factor Authentication shortly know as 2FA is a authorization
mechanism where One Time Password(OTP) is generated using “Authenticator”
mobile apps such as “Google Authenticator”, “Microsoft Authenticator”
etc., or by SMS, e-mail to authenticate. Automating this seamlessly
and consistently is a big challenge in Selenium. There are some ways
to automate this process. But that will be another layer on top of our
Selenium tests and not secured as well. So, you can avoid automating 2FA.
There are few options to get around 2FA checks:
- Disable 2FA for certain Users in the test environment, so that you can
use those user credentials in the automation. - Disable 2FA in your test environment.
- Disable 2FA if you login from certain IPs. That way we can configure our
test machine IPs to avoid this.
