How to Build Two-Factor Authentication with Adalo

 

Step 1: Create Your Adalo Application

 

  • Start by logging into your Adalo account and creating a new application if you don’t already have one.
  • Select a suitable template for your app or start from scratch depending on your project requirements.

 

Step 2: Add User Collection

 

  • Create a new collection in your Adalo database named "Users" if it doesn’t already exist.
  • Ensure that the "Users" collection includes fields for Email, Password, and Phone Number. You will also need a new field for storing the One-Time Password (OTP).
  • Add an additional boolean field "isVerified" to keep track of the verification status.

 

Step 3: Build the Login Screen

 

  • Design a login screen by dragging and dropping the input components for Email and Password onto a new screen in Adalo.
  • Add a button component with the label "Login".
  • Set up the button action to trigger a login attempt. On a successful login, navigate to the OTP Verification Screen (which you will create in the next step).

 

Step 4: Create the OTP Verification Screen

 

  • Add a new screen to your Adalo app called "OTP Verification".
  • Drag and drop input components to take the user’s OTP input.
  • Add a button component, label it "Verify OTP".
  • Ensure there is logic in place to authenticate the OTP entered by the user.

 

Step 5: Generate and Send OTP

 

  • Use Adalo’s custom actions or integrations to generate a random OTP when the login is initiated.
  • Set up a method to send the generated OTP to the user’s registered phone number or email. You may use services like Twilio for SMS or SendGrid for email integration.
  • Save the generated OTP to the user's record in the database.

 

Step 6: Validate OTP

 

  • When the user enters the OTP on the "OTP Verification" screen and clicks "Verify OTP", you'll need to ensure the entered OTP matches the one stored in the database.
  • If the OTP matches, set the "isVerified" field to true and navigate the user to the intended screen within the app.
  • If the OTP doesn’t match, show an error message prompting the user to try again.

 

Step 7: Final Touches

 

  • Ensure all error handling is in place for failed logins or OTP mismatches.
  • Test the entire flow to ensure users can log in, receive and enter OTPs correctly, and access your app upon successful verification.

 

Step 8: Deploy Your App

 

  • Once you’ve thoroughly tested the 2FA setup, deploy your Adalo app to your chosen platform (e.g., web, iOS, Android).
  • Regularly monitor for any issues or feedback from users and make necessary adjustments to improve the user experience.
