Synopsis

This project allows to you get a two factor validation for different purposes. Is a way to enforce your security website sending two tokens for differentes channels but they need to match in your bussiness logic. The channels are email and sms., _(*1)

Requirements

To use this tool is necessary have an account in the providers for SMS and EMAILS. In this package we have available two clients to use that are:, _(*2)

• www.sendgrid.com

Be sure to have your accounts and get your API-KEYS-ID. Otherwise if you can't use this providers, you can extends the package creating a class for each new client that you need., _(*3)

Code Example

Is very simple use this package, with the correct configuration, the only thing you need to do in your app is create an instance of TokenEmailSms::, _(*4)
