🚨🚨🚨
This library is no longer actively maintained. The Authy API has been replaced with the Twilio Verify API. Twilio will support the Authy API through November 1, 2022 for SMS/Voice. After this date, we’ll start to deprecate the service for SMS/Voice. Any requests sent to the API after May 1, 2023, will automatically receive an error. Push and TOTP will continue to be supported through July 2023.

- Coming soon: Look out for a new Devise plugin to use Twilio Verify with Devise

Pre-requisites
To use the Authy API you will need a Twilio Account, sign up for a free Twilio account here.
Create an Authy Application in the Twilio console and take note of the API key.
Demo
See this repo for a full demo of using authy-devise
.
Getting started
First get your Authy API key from the Twilio console. We recommend you store your API key as an environment variable.
$ export AUTHY_API_KEY=YOUR_AUTHY_API_KEY
Next add the gem to your Gemfile:
gem 'devise'
gem 'devise-authy'
And then run bundle install
Add Devise Authy
to your App:
rails g devise_authy:install
--haml: Generate the views in Haml
--sass: Generate the stylesheets in Sass
Configuring Models
You can add devise_authy to your user model in two ways.
With the generator
Run the following command:
rails g devise_authy [MODEL_NAME]
To support account locking (recommended), you must add :authy_lockable
to the devise :authy_authenticatable, ...
configuration in your model as this is not yet supported by the generator.
Manually
Add :authy_authenticatable
and :authy_lockable
to the devise
options in your Devise user model:
devise :authy_authenticatable, :authy_lockable, :database_authenticatable, :lockable
(Note, :authy_lockable
is optional but recommended. It should be used with Devise's own :lockable
module).
Also add a new migration. For example, if you are adding to the User
model, use this migration:
class DeviseAuthyAddToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]
def self.up
change_table :users do |t|
t.string :authy_id
t.datetime :last_sign_in_with_authy
t.boolean :authy_enabled, :default => false
end
add_index :users, :authy_id
end
def self.down
change_table :users do |t|
t.remove :authy_id, :last_sign_in_with_authy, :authy_enabled
end
end
end
Final steps
For either method above, run the migrations:
rake db:migrate
[Optional] Update the default routes to point to something like:
devise_for :users, :path_names => {
:verify_authy => "/verify-token",
:enable_authy => "/enable-two-factor",
:verify_authy_installation => "/verify-installation",
:authy_onetouch_status => "/onetouch-status"
}
Now whenever a user wants to enable two-factor authentication they can go to:
http://your-app/users/enable-two-factor
And when the user logs in they will be redirected to:
http://your-app/users/verify-token
Custom Views
If you want to customise your views, you can modify the files that are located at:
app/views/devise/devise_authy/enable_authy.html.erb
app/views/devise/devise_authy/verify_authy.html.erb
app/views/devise/devise_authy/verify_authy_installation.html.erb
Request a phone call
The default views come with a button to force a request for an SMS message. You can also add a button that will request a phone call instead. Simply add the helper method to your view:
<%= authy_request_phone_call_link %>
Custom Redirect Paths (eg. using modules)
If you want to customise the redirects you can override them within your own controller like this:
class MyCustomModule::DeviseAuthyController < Devise::DeviseAuthyController
protected
def after_authy_enabled_path_for(resource)
my_own_path
end
def after_authy_verified_path_for(resource)
my_own_path
end
def after_authy_disabled_path_for(resource)
my_own_path
end
def invalid_resource_path
my_own_path
end
end
And tell the router to use this controller
devise_for :users, controllers: {devise_authy: 'my_custom_module/devise_authy'}
I18n
The install generator also copies a Devise Authy
i18n file which you can find at:
config/locales/devise.authy.en.yml
Session variables
If you want to know if the user is signed in using Two-Factor authentication, you can use the following session variable:
session["#{resource_name}_authy_token_checked"]
# Eg.
session["user_authy_token_checked"]
OneTouch support
To enable Authy push authentication, you need to modify the Devise config file config/initializers/devise.rb
and add configuration:
config.authy_enable_onetouch = true
Generic authenticator token support
Authy supports other authenticator apps by providing a QR code that your users can scan.
To use this feature, you need to enable it in your Twilio Console
Once you have enabled generic authenticator tokens, you can enable this in devise-authy by modifying the Devise config file config/initializers/devise.rb
and adding the configuration:
config.authy_enable_qr_code = true
This will display a QR code on the verification screen (you still need to take a user's phone number and country code). If you have implemented your own views, the QR code URL is available on the verification page as @authy_qr_code
.
Rails 5 CSRF protection
In Rails 5 protect_from_forgery
is no longer prepended to the before_action
chain. If you call authenticate_user
before protect_from_forgery
your request will result in a "Can't verify CSRF token authenticity" error.
To remedy this, add prepend: true
to your protect_from_forgery
call, like in this example from the Authy Devise demo app:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception, prepend: true
end
Running Tests
Run the following command:
$ bundle exec rspec
Notice: Twilio Authy API’s Sandbox feature will stop working on Sep 30, 2021
Twilio is discontinuing the Authy API’s Sandbox, a feature that allows customers to run continuous integration tests against a mock Authy API for free. The Sandbox is no longer being maintained, so we will be taking the final deprecation step of shutting it down on September 30, 2021. The rest of the Authy API product will continue working as-is.
This repo previously used the sandbox API as part of the test suite, but that has been since removed.
You will only be affected if you are using the sandbox API in your own application or test suite.
For more information please read this article on how we are discontinuing the Twilio Authy sandbox API.
