   A compromised admin password is one of the most common entry points for attackers against Magento stores, because a single factor is enough to take over payment configuration, customer data and the entire store setup. This article shows how to configure the Magento_TwoFactorAuth module, which providers are available, how to enforce Two-Factor Authentication store-wide through configuration or per role, how the underlying CLI commands work, how to implement a custom TFA provider using the ProviderInterface, how to register it through di.xml, and which pitfalls typically appear when operating 2FA behind a reverse proxy, in a headless setup or on a staging environment.

2. Fraud Prevention in the Magento 2 Checkout: Getting Fraud Detection Right

   May 2, 2026

   Without systematic fraud prevention, a Magento store relies on luck at checkout: address mismatches, unusual order frequencies, and card-country mismatches go unnoticed until the chargeback arrives. This article shows how a custom risk-scoring service, built as a service contract, evaluates concrete fraud signals, how suspicious orders get an order hold instead of a hard block for human review, and how external fraud detection providers such as Signifyd, Riskified, or ClearSale can be integrated cleanly via webhook, without turning away legitimate customers through false positives.

7. Registering Custom Admin Notifications in the Magento Backend

   Mar 30, 2026

   Magento already ships a complete notification system through Magento_AdminNotification, visible via the bell icon in the top right corner of the backend: inbox notifications with severity levels and an unread counter, plus system messages shown as a red or yellow banner. Custom modules can tap into this system deliberately to report certificate expirations, failed API synchronizations or low stock levels directly inside the admin panel instead of forcing developers to dig through log files. This article shows how to build a custom Admin Notifications setup based on InboxInterface, MessageInterface, cron jobs and ACL rules, including complete code examples for Magento 2.4.8.
