get https://api.banking.netevia.dev/api/generateSecret
The GET /api/generateSecret endpoint generates a new secret key for enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) in the banking application. This secret key is a critical component of the MFA process, providing an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity beyond just their password.
Purpose:
- Generate a new secret key for setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Enhance account security by enabling an additional verification step during login and sensitive actions like transaction confirmations.
Usage:
- Users typically utilize the secret key to configure their MFA application (such as Google Authenticator or Authy).
- The generated key should be securely stored and used only in accordance with the MFA setup process.
Response:
The response includes a newly generated secret key that can be used for multi-factor authentication setup. Along with the key, the response may include additional information to facilitate setting up MFA in third-party apps.
Key Features:
- Secret Key Generation: Provides a unique secret key for use in MFA applications, enhancing user security.
- QR Code Support: Many MFA applications allow users to scan a QR code for easy setup; this API can optionally return a URL for this purpose.
- Data Security: The secret key should be stored securely and shared only with trusted devices for authentication purposes.
