+Introduction
+============
+
+Piccolo API provides some wrappers around popular encryption libraries.
+
+These are current used by :ref:`Multifactor Authentication <MFA>`.

+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+When first using some of the providers, you will be prompted to install the
+underlying encryption library.
+
+For example, with ``XChaCha20Provider``, you need to install ``pynacl`` as
+follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    pip install piccolo_api[pynacl]
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Example usage
+-------------
+
+All of the providers work the same (except their parameters may be different).
+
+Here's an example using ``XChaCha20Provider``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> from piccolo_api.encryption.providers import XChaCha20Provider
+
+    >>> encryption_key = XChaCha20Provider.get_new_key()
+    >>> provider = XChaCha20Provider(encryption_key=encryption_key)
+
+    >>> encrypted = provider.encrypt("hello world")
+    >>> print(provider.decrypt(encrypted))
+    "hello world"
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Which provider to use?
+----------------------
+
+``XChaCha20Provider`` is the most secure.
+
+You may decide to use ``FernetProvider`` if you already have the Python
+``cryptography`` library as a dependency in your project.

+Introduction
+============
+
+What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+MFA provides additional security to :ref:`SessionAuth`.
+
+As well as needing a username and password to login, the user must provide an
+additional piece of information.
+
+One of the most popular ways of doing this is by providing a code generated by
+an authenticator app on the user's phone.

docs/source/mfa/providers.rst

@@ -0,0 +1,23 @@
+Providers
+=========
+
+Most of the MFA code is fairly generic, but ``Providers`` implement the logic
+which is specific to its particular authentication mechanism.
+
+For example, ``AuthenticatorProvider`` knows how to authenticate tokens which
+come from an authenticator app on a user's phone, and knows how to generate new
+secrets which allow users to enable MFA.

+Tables
+======
+
+``AuthenticatorSecret``
+-----------------------
+
+This is required by :class:`AuthenticatorProvider <piccolo_api.mfa.authenticator.provider.AuthenticatorProvider>`.
+
+To create this table, you can using Piccolo's migrations.
+
+Add ``piccolo_api.mfa.authenticator.piccolo_app`` to ``APP_REGISTRY`` in
+``piccolo_conf.py``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    APP_REGISTRY = AppRegistry(
+        apps=[
+            "piccolo_api.mfa.authenticator.piccolo_app",
+            ...
+        ]
+    )
+
+Then run the migrations:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    piccolo migrations forwards mfa_authenticator
+
+Alternatively, if not using Piccolo migrations, you can create the table
+manually:
+
+.. code-block:: pycon
+
+    >>> from piccolo_api.mfa.authenticator.table import AuthenticatorProvider
+    >>> AuthenticatorProvider.create_table().run_sync()
