This is a devise extension to allow your app to utilise Google Authenticator for Time-based One Time Passwords (TOTP).
-
Version 0.1 - initial release, just to push it up, is still very early and requires a bit work
-
Version 0.2 - tidied up some of the code - changed the references to AsteriskLabs
-
Version 0.3 - first working version! With working generators, tests, and doesnt require changes to Devise’s Sign In view
-
Version 0.3.1 - Slight updated in the dependencies.
-
Version 0.3.2 - Updated to include support for Devise 2.0.0 and above (no longer supports 1.5.3 or lower), you’ll need version 0.3.1 to use older Devise
-
Version 0.3.3 - Updated some of the redirect methods to proper align with Devise 2.1.0. Also tidied up some of the test routines to proper replicate Devise 2.1.0
-
Version 0.3.4 - Updated test cases to function properly, and tested working with Devise 2.2 (up to at least Devise 2.2.4)
-
Version 0.3.5 - Updated README for Rails apps with existing users. (Thanks Jon Collier)
-
Version 0.3.6 - Slight updates - increased key size, more open gemspec, updated en.yml. (Thanks Michael Guymon)
-
Version 0.3.7 - Support for current Devise (3.2.0) and Rails4 (Thanks github.com/ronald05arias) - integration test still broke - need to address this
-
Version 0.3.8 - Support for remembering the token authentication. (i.e. don’t request the token for a configurable amount of time Thanks github.com/blahblahblah-) - and seriously, I’m going to try and refactor all the integration tests with Rspec.
Add the gem to your Gemfile (don’t forget devise too):
-
gem ‘devise’
-
gem ‘devise_google_authenticator’, ‘0.3.8’
Don’t forget to “bundle install”
To setup Devise, you need to do the following (but refer to github.com/plataformatec/devise for more information)
Install Devise:
-
rails g devise:install
Setup the User or Admin model
-
rails g devise MODEL
Configure your app for authorisation, edit your Controller and add this before_filter:
-
before_filter :authenticate_user!
Make sure your “root” route is configured in config/routes.rb
Run the following generator to add the necessary configuration options to Devise’s config file:
-
rails g devise_google_authenticator:install
After you’ve created your Devise user models (which is usually done with a “rails g devise MODEL”), set up your Google Authenticator additions:
-
rails g devise_google_authenticator MODEL
Don’t forget to migrate:
-
rake db:migrate
After the above steps have been performed, you’ll need to generate secrets for each user:
User.where(:gauth_secret => nil).each do |user| user.send(:assign_auth_secret) user.save end
By default, users won’t need to perform two-factor authentication (gauth_enabled=‘f’). By visiting /MODEL/displayqr (eg: /users/displayqr) and submitting the form, two-factor authentication will then be turned on (gauth_enabled=1) and required for subsequent logins.
The install generator adds some options to the end of your Devise config file (config/initializers/devise.rb)
-
config.ga_timeout - how long should the user be able to authenticate with their Google Authenticator token
-
config.ga_timedrift - a multiplier which provides for drift between a user’s clock (and therefore their OTP) and the system clock. This should be fine at 3.
-
config.ga_remembertime - how long to remember the token for before requiring another. By default this is 1 month. To disable this setting change it to nil.
If you want to customise your views (which you likely will want to, as they’re pretty ugly right now), you can use the generator:
-
rails g devise_google_authenticator:views
With this extension enabled, the following is expected behaviour:
-
When a user registers, they are forwarded onto the Display QR page. This allows them to add their new “token” to their mobile device, and enable, or disable, the functionality.
-
If users can’t self-register, they’re still able to visit this page by visiting /MODEL/displayqr (eg: /users/displayqr).
-
If the function is enabled (for that user), when they sign in, they’ll be prompted for their password (as per normal), but then redirected into the Check QR page. They have to enter their token (from their device) to then successfully authenticate.
-
If configured (by default to 1 month), the user will only be prompted for the token every 1 month.
The install generator also installs an english copy of a Devise Google Authenticator i18n file. This can be modified (or used to create other language versions) and is located at: config/locales/devise.google_authenticator.en.yml
This extension would not exist without the following other projects and associated authors (Whom I have turned to for inspiration and definitely have helped contributing by providing awesome Devise extensions. A lot of this code has been refactored from various sources, in particular these - in particular Sergio and Devise_invitable for his excellent unit test code):
-
Devise (José Valim, Carlos Antônio da Silva, Rodrigo Flores) github.com/plataformatec/devise
-
Devise_invitable (Sergio Cambra) github.com/scambra/devise_invitable
-
Devise_openid_authenticatable (Nat Budin) github.com/nbudin/devise_openid_authenticatable
-

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
-
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
-
Fork the project
-
Start a feature/bugfix branch
-
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
-
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
