At nopAccelerate, our mission is to empower online businesses with secure, high-performance, and enterprise-ready solutions for nopCommerce. In today’s eCommerce landscape, security is no longer optional — it is fundamental to customer trust and business growth.

To address this challenge, we partnered with Select Systems International and co-developed a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) plugin for Microsoft Authenticator. What makes this project unique is our use of AI-assisted development, which enabled us to accelerate delivery, minimize costs, and maintain enterprise-grade code quality.

Business Challenge

Passwords alone are no longer enough. Hackers exploit weak credentials, leaving businesses vulnerable to account takeovers, financial fraud, and data breaches.

While nopCommerce already supported Google Authenticator, many enterprise clients — particularly those aligned with Microsoft environments — required Microsoft Authenticator to comply with corporate IT policies and regulatory standards.

Our main challenges included:

• Delivering a secure, Microsoft-based MFA option for nopCommerce.
• Ensuring compatibility with nopCommerce v4.80.
• Reducing time-to-market without compromising security or usability.

Our Solution

Together with Select Systems International, the nopAccelerate team designed and implemented the Microsoft Authenticator MFA plugin. By leveraging AI-powered development tools, we achieved both speed and precision — ensuring businesses could enhance security without waiting months for custom development.

Key Features

• Seamless Setup – Quick QR-code pairing with Microsoft Authenticator.
• Backup Codes – One-time recovery codes delivered via email.
• Customer Flexibility – Users can enable or disable MFA as needed.
• Enterprise-Ready – Built to align with corporate IT security standards.
• Rapid Delivery – AI-assisted coding significantly reduced development cycles.

Results and Impact

The plugin strengthens account security while ensuring a frictionless shopping experience. By combining AI-enabled development with proven nopCommerce expertise, we achieved:

• Stronger Protection – Reduced risk of unauthorized access and fraud.
• Accelerated Time-to-Market – Faster rollout compared to traditional development.
• Cost Efficiency – Lower development costs, passed on as value to clients.
• Positive Adoption – Early users praised its simplicity, reliability, and enterprise alignment.

Customer Feedback

“Thanks to the nopAccelerate.com team who helped with the development of this plugin. They were very professional and delivered exactly what was needed.”

Why This Matters

This project illustrates how AI-driven innovation and collaboration can elevate security without increasing costs disproportionately. For businesses, it means:

• Faster access to enterprise-grade security features.
• Lower costs compared to conventional custom development.
• Confidence that their nopCommerce store meets the modern security standards increasingly demanded by both customers and regulators.

Conclusion

The Microsoft Authenticator MFA plugin for nopCommerce showcases how technology, teamwork, and innovation can deliver meaningful impact.

At nopAccelerate, we are proud to contribute to a safer eCommerce ecosystem by building secure, scalable, and enterprise-ready solutions. We also proved that AI-assisted development can reshape how plugins are delivered — with faster timelines, lower costs, and stronger outcomes for both merchants and customers.
