SIGN-IN CODE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Check a verification code without changing account access.

Compare a sign-in code supplied as text with the authenticator setup assigned to that person, and return a clear valid or invalid result. Keep verification separate from account changes so a designated person remains responsible for access decisions and security exceptions.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person provides a six-digit code and the authenticator setup associated with their account

“Check whether the submitted code matches the assigned authenticator setup and return the result without granting access or changing account settings.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps an authorized team check a time-based sign-in code as one piece of an account verification process.

  1. Receive the submitted verification details

    Accept the code as text so leading zeroes are preserved, and associate it only with the intended account setup.

  2. Check the code against its assigned setup

    Determine whether the short-lived code matches the authenticator information held for that person.

  3. Return a minimal verification result

    Show whether the check passed without revealing the secret or other unnecessary account information.

  4. Keep sign-in decisions with an authorized person

    Treat a match as verification evidence only; a person or approved sign-in policy must decide whether access is appropriate.

  5. Require human approval for account changes

    Route recovery, enrollment, access grants, and security-setting changes to an authorized reviewer for explicit approval.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A valid or invalid verification result for an authorized reviewer, with account access and security changes still requiring human approval.

The handoff

A valid or invalid verification result for an authorized reviewer, with account access and security changes still requiring human approval.

Keep in mind

Treat authenticator setups and submitted codes as highly sensitive. Do not expose them in messages or logs, rate-limit repeated attempts, and require an authorized person to approve account access, recovery, or security-setting changes rather than treating a match as permission to change an account.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the accounts and verification purpose

Identify which accounts may be checked and how the result fits into the existing sign-in review.

Protect authenticator information

Restrict access to enrolled secrets, avoid retaining submitted codes, and keep sensitive values out of notices and records.

Assign security reviewers and approval boundaries

Name who may review exceptions and require explicit human approval for account access, recovery, or security changes.

Test valid, invalid, and zero-prefixed codes

Use controlled examples to verify the result while confirming failures reveal no secret and cannot change account access.
