We have the following **GuardingType** in our package - **INPUT**: The user inputs a code, into the mobile app. - **PRESS**: The users presses a code, into the mobile app. - **APPROVE/DENY**: The user approves or denies the sign-in request, via the mobile app. ### The package provides the following routes: [](#the-package-provides-the-following-routes) - `POST /api/guardian/generate` - This route is used to generate a Guardian for the user to respond to. - `POST /api/guardian/respond` - This route is used to respond to the Guardian via the Mobile app. - `POST /api/guardian/status` - This route is used to verify the user's response and authorize the sign-in. The Flow: --------- [](#the-flow) Desktop ------- [](#desktop) 1. When the user tries to sign-in on the desktop, and when the user credentials are verified, generate a Guardian for the user to respond to. - Use the `POST /api/guardian/generate` route to generate a Guardian, with the users `uuid` - Once, the guardian is generated, trigger a notification to the user with the **GuardianType** and the **GuardianOption** obtained in the previous step. 2. Poll the `POST /api/guardian/status` route to check if the user has responded to the Guardian, this can give you three types of results - **-1**: The user has not responded yet - 0: The user has responded, with incorrect response - **1**: The user has responded, with the correct response 3. Based on the Status, you can either authorize the sign-in or ask the user to respond again or generate a fresh guardian. Mobile ------ [](#mobile) - Show a UI to the user, based on the **GuardianType** and **GuardianOption** - **INPUT**: Show a text input to the user, to input the code - **PRESS**: Show a list of codes to the user, to press the right code - **APPROVE/DENY**: Show two buttons to the user, to approve or deny the sign-in request - When the user responds, use the `POST /api/guardian/respond` route to send the response to the server.
