Thanks for your comment! Well, obviously we want to prevent stealing the HTTP session. But maybe someone steals the user's password - we can't protect the user

Well, obviously we want to prevent stealing the HTTP session. But maybe someone steals the user's password - we can't protect the user's password for him.
So when someone from the US suddenly logs in on another continent we want to detect that. Sure they could use a proxy, but maybe. Since it's a B2B app people rarely use it out of the office.
I read eCommerce shops do it, payment providers as well. So there seems to be something to it...
- chrisfarms 13y agoThis is where you want 2FA really. Each time the user logs in from a new "client" ask for a 2FA code from something like their phone. Things like Authy and Google Authenticator make this relatively painless to implement.
- stephanos2k 13y agoWe already implemented 2FA, but it's not yet forced for everyone. You don't want to patronize your customers ;)
