$user->hasTfa() method

Does user have two-factor authentication (Tfa) enabled? (and what type?)

  • Returns boolean false if not enabled.
  • Returns string with Tfa module name (string) if enabled.
  • When $getInstance argument is true, returns Tfa module instance rather than module name.

The benefit of using this method is that it can identify if Tfa is enabled without fully initializing a Tfa module that would attach hooks, etc. So when you only need to know if Tfa is enabled for a user, this method is more efficient than accessing $user->tfa_type.

When using $getInstance to return module instance, note that the module instance might not be initialized (hooks not added, etc.). To retrieve an initialized instance, you can get it from $user->tfa_type rather than calling this method.

Available since version 3.0.162.
