Implementing multistep authentication in message apps is a vital aspect of modern mobile security. With the rising number of online threats and increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks, it's necessary for developers to incorporate robust security measures in their applications. In this blog post, we'll discuss the implementation of multistep authentication for message apps and provide a basic structure for its deployment.
Why Implement Multistep Secure Protocols
Multistep authentication is a security strategy that adds an extra layer of protection for application users. By requiring users to complete multiple steps to authenticate their identity, developers can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data. This is especially important for message apps, where users entrust the application with their personal messages, photos, and sensitive information.
Types of Multistep Authentication

A. Plan - This is how much of the planning you will do, decide the multi - level authentication methods that need to be used.
B. Develop - Move to coding the app and integrate the authentication protocols such that it doesn't interrupt customer workflow, we need to keep this as smooth as possible.
C. Phase test the application thoroughly, try to break it for once.
D. Market - Finally we need to market the app and offer it on Apple play and app store so that it is visible and the customers can download the app in masses.
Tools and Technological Frameworks to Achieve Multistep Authentication
To implement multistep authentication, an application should use the following tools and frameworks:

Types of Multistep Authentication
- This is typically done by using a combination of two-factor authentication, such as a user enters a login ID and password or an app requires users to type in answer to a password, and then asks for a temporary six digit code for instance, received via text for verification.
- Authentication using biometric identification such as Touch ID, this authenticates a user using unique physical features which can't be guessable.
- Authentication using Secure card, such as U2F security key. This authenticates a user with a one time security token, generated by a secured card which will get plugged in.

Tools and Technological Frameworks to Achieve Multistep Authentication
To implement multistep authentication, an application should use the following tools and frameworks:
- Identity Security and Identity Management (IAM) services like Firebase Authentication or OneLogin that assist in the setup of authentication protocols, which include login credentials, or email verification.
- Security Services - Applications can utilize 3rd party secured APIs of other companies like Onegini or Entrust for one factor authenticates (OAuth), as well as passwordless authentication like one-time passing.
