This module adds email as a Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) option to the core TFA module. It allows users to receive a one-time passcode via email as a second step during login.
TFA Email is a lightweight plugin that extends the core functionality of the TFA (Two-Factor Authentication) module by adding support for email-based one-time passcodes (OTP) as a second factor.
By default, the TFA module does not include email as a 2FA option. This plugin fills that gap, allowing you to use email as the second step in the login process, without needing SMS, authenticator apps, or third-party integrations.
