After I made this post a couple people wanted me to make it open source, so I present to you AuthAPI.

Its a simple way to use your favorite authentication app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.) inside of Roblox.

DISCLAIMER
Do NOT show the link for the QR code anywhere on the game. It could get your game banned.

Yoo, This is epic.
It could be used to Store Data, Like if your Account get’s Hacked (Like if someone stole ur “RoSecurity”), The Data can be Protected.
(Edited for better grammar)

This would be cool but I can’t really think of too many experiences that would require this.

Still a great concept though.

This is a really nice idea. Very clean ui, and a better alternative to verification. You could use it for Discord verification, or to protect your game from bots. I would recommend to anyone.

Is this supposed to return an image? Because you are not able to actually get an third party image into Roblox like this.

It would be cool if you could get the binary data so you could construct a QRCode using UI elements :thinking: That probably isn’t possible with this API though.

It returns a link that goes to a QR code.

Directing users off-site is against tos and can get you banned.

I guess that make sense. I added a disclaimer to the post.

The disclaimer doesn’t fix the fact that your API is based upon directing users off-site to scan a QR code.

I made a pull request which attempts at improving your module, hope you find it useful, it introduces better error messages, changes some method naming, adds type annotation, adds proper errors in some edge cases, etc.

#11

I don’t mean for people to show the url in-game. When I was making this I was thinking of people using 2fa for things like admin consoles in cafe games or something. Not really usage for big games.

Only for this function, I would have your module in every of my games. I love QR codes.

You should use a QR code generator to show the QR codes in game.
See:

and

I’m sure there are more libraries to generate QR codes in game but these are only a few ones you could use.

#14

Would it perhaps be possible to display the QR code directly in-game to the player?

Edit: just saw the post above, that’s what I’m thinking of (generating the code to be shown in a GUI, with the raw data from the authentication service).

make that would be idea to verification you should know discord verification or phone number can protect account so can be use authentication app i would this make great to be though can be protect

#16

I’m not entirely sure but this appears to still return false even though the code is correct.

local authapi = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").AuthAPI)

print(authapi.GetQRCodeURL("RandommmTestApp", "Random application", "N/A"))
print(authapi.CheckPinAsync("199819", "RandommmTestApp"))
#17

Does the GetQRCodeURL return false? Or just the CheckPinAsync?

#18

Just checkpin, the QR code gets added successfully but the checkpin function always returns false.

#19

Don’t send the pin as a string, send it as a number.
e.g

print(authapi.CheckPinAsync(123456, "RandommmTestApp"))
#20

Tried that already, tried it just now and still returns false.
