Requirements

High-level tasks:

• mithril model and API changes - ave phone number, get services. Changes in concept user, party employee, party_users.
• Change Create employee process - add 2nd factor phone number, add phone number verification step
• Change approve employee process - two-step approval, resend sms
• Change login process - step, resend sms, otp counter, block user after n logins failed
• Existing users migration - move the mobile phone number to the 2nd factor
• Mithril admin changes - show 2nd factor, block/unblock user
• Introduce user endpoints to MIS

Assumtions:

• We keep using oauth 2.0 flow.
• 2factor auth will be introduced for all users at the same time
• mobile phone number for all the existing users should be automatically used as the 2nd factor
• 2nd factor can be changed only via create employee request
• 2nd factor - OTP delivered via sms
• 2-factor auth can be applied to all the admin consoles: mithrill, uaddresses, nhs.admin - configurable

Key aspects of implementation

• We implemented only 2FA (but MANY FA)
• User must authorize for 2FA (second step) only after successful login with emal+password (first step)
• We support a few kind of factors, but user have only 1 active factor at the same time 
• Now we implement only `SMS` factor type 
• We add blocking process (in case OTP error) for verifying step 
• We create additional blocking process (in case error password) for normal login process (login + password)
• Logic 2FA process based on same token_types (access_token_type && 2fa_access_token_type)
• 2FA data store at separate entity `mithril.authentication_factors` (without status model, but with logical state for 2fa & user item)
• OTP data store at existing separate entity `mithril.otp` (with status model)
• At same time we have 1 active OTP for 1 factor

Configs

2FA & OTP configurable parameters:

Data structure

Store 2FA structure for User

• According ability uses many factors of authentication - propose use separated new entity `authentication_factors` with a structure:

  Column	Type	Purpose
  id	uuid
  user_id	uuid	User FK
  type	varchar
  factor	varchar	Factor value
  is_active	boolean
  inserted_at	timestamp
  updateed_at	timestamp

  additional constraint: create unique index (user_id, type)

  where factor is string which depends on factor type, examples:

  type	factor
  SMS	"+380677778899"
  PHONE	"+380677778899"
  EMAIL	"pupkin.vasya@gmail.com"

Change User entity

• We need store for user 3 attribute:
  • count logins fail
  • count 2FA fail
  • block status of user

• Propose store counters parameters for 2FA in `users.priv_settings` as structure :

  {
  	"login_error_counter": 0,
  	"otp_error_counter": 0
  }

• Propose store information about blocked directly in entity `users`.
  New columns:

  Column	Type	Purpose
  is_blocked	boolean
  block_reason	varchar (255), NULL

Сonstraints

• user have one active 2FA factor ( one of any type)
• unique index for `authentication_factors` on user_id+type

2FA state chart

We need minimal 4 state for user & 2FA:

• DISABLED - Disable 2FA for this user (via NHS Admin)
• BLOCKED - User blocked after N-unsuccessful attempts via authentication process.
• RESET - NHS Admin reset value of factor or factor type. At first login user must fill value of factor.
• ACTIVE - normal status: 2FA enable 

Propose don't use statuses model, and use logic calculating for state 2FA user:
