Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

flutter_2fa is a Flutter package that enables Two Factor Authentication (2FA) in applications using authenticator apps like Google Authenticator. It provides tools to generate and manage time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), simplifying secure user authentication. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring cross-platform consistency. With straightforward integration via the command `flutter pub add flutter_2fa`, developers can enhance app security with minimal setup. It's ideal for apps requiring strong user verification without relying solely on passwords.

Use cases

  • Secure login systems
  • Two-factor authentication for user accounts
  • Enhancing app security with TOTP
  • Integration with authenticator apps
  • User identity verification
  • Multi-factor authentication workflows

Key features

  • TOTP code generation
  • Cross-platform support
  • Easy integration with Flutter
  • Supports popular authenticator apps
  • Secure token handling
  • Real-time time synchronization

Suitable for

  • Apps requiring enhanced security
  • Developers building secure authentication flows
  • Mobile and web applications with user logins
  • Projects using 2FA standards like RFC 6238
  • Teams wanting quick 2FA implementation

Considerations

  • Requires user setup of authenticator app
  • Depends on system clock accuracy
  • No built-in backup or recovery mechanism
  • Limited customization for advanced 2FA scenarios
  • Not suitable for offline-only environments

✨ Features (v1.0.5 Upgrade)

  • Quick Setup: Generates a standard cryptographically secure TOTP secret key compatible with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, etc.
  • QR Code Generation: Integrated visual setup flow using dynamic QR codes.
  • Copy-to-Clipboard: Fallback configuration flow allowing users to copy the raw setup key manually.
  • Secure OTP Verification: Standard input interface using high-quality pin inputs (pinput integration).
  • 🎨 Custom UI Themes: Override background colors, text colors, AppBars, button styles, and PIN input decorations to match your app's design system.
  • 🔒 Secure Storage: Optional encrypted storage backend via flutter_secure_storage to secure secret keys and recovery codes.
  • 🛡️ Biometric Authentication: Quick local unlock (Face ID / Touch ID / Fingerprint) via local_auth integration.
  • 🧩 Backup Recovery Codes: Generates 10 static recovery codes during activation. Displayed under a space-saving collapsible accordion. Users can use these codes as a login fallback.
  • ⚙️ Configurable TOTP Settings: Configure digit length, intervals (e.g. 30s/60s), and hashing algorithms (SHA1, SHA256, SHA512).

📦 Installation & Dependency Upgrades

Add flutter_2fa and its required biometric and secure storage backend packages to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_2fa: ^1.0.5
  local_auth: ^2.3.0
  flutter_secure_storage: ^9.2.4

Or install them directly:

flutter pub add flutter_2fa local_auth flutter_secure_storage

[!NOTE]
To support newer platform libraries and Dart 3.x, transitive dependency upgrades have been applied (specifically upgrading internal Windows helpers which removes deprecated win32 3.1.3 conflicts).

⚙️ Android Toolchain Requirements

To compile successfully with newer dependency versions (e.g. Kotlin 2.x and Java 21), make sure your Android project files are configured as follows:

  • Gradle Wrapper: Version 8.14.0 or higher (gradle-wrapper.properties).
  • Android Gradle Plugin (AGP): Version 8.11.1 or higher (settings.gradle).
  • Kotlin: Version 2.2.20 or higher (settings.gradle).
  • Compile SDK: Version 34 or higher (app/build.gradle).

🚀 Usage

1. Configure Options (New in v1.0.5)

Define a Flutter2FAConfig configuration object:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_2fa/flutter_2fa_config.dart';

final twoFactorConfig = Flutter2FAConfig(
  useSecureStorage: true,   // Encrypts stored secret keys in Keychain/Keystore
  allowBiometrics: true,    // Enables Face ID/Touch ID quick unlock
  totpInterval: 30,         // TOTP step interval (in seconds)
  totpDigits: 6,            // OTP digit length
  totpAlgorithm: 'SHA1',    // Hashing algorithm
  
  // Custom Styles
  backgroundColor: Colors.grey[50],
  textColor: Colors.indigo[900],
  appBarColor: Colors.indigo,
  primaryButtonStyle: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
    backgroundColor: Colors.indigo,
    foregroundColor: Colors.white,
  ),
);
2. Activating 2FA Setup Flow

Trigger the initialization UI screen where the user is shown the secret seed key, the setup QR code, and collapsible backup recovery codes.

import 'package:flutter_2fa/flutter_2fa.dart';

void activateTwoFactor(BuildContext context) async {
  await Flutter2FA().activate(
    context: context,
    appName: "Your App Name",       // App name shown in Authenticator app
    email: "user@example.com",     // User email identifier for the account
    config: twoFactorConfig,       // Pass the custom config
  );
}
3. Verifying a 2FA Login Session

Trigger the OTP input, biometric verification prompt, or backup recovery code input.

import 'package:flutter_2fa/flutter_2fa.dart';

void verifyTwoFactor(BuildContext context) async {
  await Flutter2FA().verify(
    context: context,
    page: const DashboardScreen(),  // Redirect target widget upon successful validation
    config: twoFactorConfig,       // Pass the custom config
  );
}
