How can I implement multi-factor authentication in Go?

To implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Go, you can use libraries like 'golang.org/x/oauth2' for OAuth2 or 'github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go' for JWT. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for using JWT.

Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go"
)

func main() {
    // Create a new token object
    token := jwt.New(jwt.SigningMethodHS256)

    // Set claims
    claims := token.Claims.(jwt.MapClaims)
    claims["username"] = "user1"
    claims["exp"] = time.Now().Add(time.Hour * 72).Unix()

    // Generate encoded token and send it as response
    tokenString, err := token.SignedString([]byte("your-256-bit-secret"))
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(tokenString)
}

This code creates a JWT token with a username and expiration time. You can then send this token to the user.

How do I verify the JWT token?

To verify the JWT token, you can use the following code:

func VerifyToken(tokenString string) (jwt.Claims, error) {
    token, err := jwt.Parse(tokenString, func(token *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error) {
        // Make sure that the token's signing method is what you expect
        if _, ok := token.Method.(*jwt.SigningMethodHMAC); !ok {
            return nil, fmt.Errorf("unexpected signing method: %v", token.Header["alg"])
        }
        return []byte("your-256-bit-secret"), nil
    })
    if claims, ok := token.Claims.(jwt.Claims); ok && token.Valid {
        return claims, nil
    } else {
        return nil, err
    }
}

This function parses the token and checks its validity.
