[phpMyAdmin Developers] [phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin] Enhance security by adding support for 2-factor-authentication via Google Authenticator (#6197)

[Raghuram Vadapalli]

Hi,

It doesn't require internet. As far as I understand, when you scan the
code, a seed is shared by app on your phone and authentication system you
are logging into. This seed is used to generate OTP (HOTP or TOTP) on your
mobile app which can be verified by authentication system.

Raghuram
