 **Note:** Currently, expand falls back to preload behavior. Full JOIN expansion is planned for future implementation.
 
 #### `x-custom-sql-join`
-Raw SQL JOIN statement.
+Custom SQL JOIN clauses for joining tables in queries.
 
-**Format:** SQL JOIN clause
+**Format:** SQL JOIN clause or multiple clauses separated by `|`
+
+**Single JOIN:**
 ```
 x-custom-sql-join: LEFT JOIN departments d ON d.id = employees.department_id
 ```
 
-⚠️ **Note:** Not yet fully implemented.
+**Multiple JOINs:**
+```
+x-custom-sql-join: LEFT JOIN departments d ON d.id = e.dept_id | INNER JOIN roles r ON r.id = e.role_id
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Supports any type of JOIN (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL, CROSS)
+- Multiple JOINs can be specified using the pipe `|` separator
+- JOINs are sanitized for security
+- Can be specified via headers or query parameters
+- **Table aliases are automatically extracted and allowed for filtering and sorting**
+
+**Using Join Aliases in Filters and Sorts:**
+
+When you specify a custom SQL join with an alias, you can use that alias in your filter and sort parameters:
+
+```
+# Join with alias
+x-custom-sql-join: LEFT JOIN departments d ON d.id = employees.department_id
+
+# Sort by joined table column
+x-sort: d.name,employees.id
+
+# Filter by joined table column
+x-searchop-eq-d.name: Engineering
+```
+
+The system automatically:
+1. Extracts the alias from the JOIN clause (e.g., `d` from `departments d`)
+2. Validates that prefixed columns (like `d.name`) refer to valid join aliases
+3. Allows these prefixed columns in filters and sorts

+# OAuth2 Authentication Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The security package provides OAuth2 authentication support for any OAuth2-compliant provider including Google, GitHub, Microsoft, Facebook, and custom providers.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Universal OAuth2 Support**: Works with any OAuth2 provider
+- **Pre-configured Providers**: Google, GitHub, Microsoft, Facebook
+- **Multi-Provider Support**: Use all OAuth2 providers simultaneously
+- **Custom Providers**: Easy configuration for any OAuth2 service
+- **Session Management**: Database-backed session storage
+- **Token Refresh**: Automatic token refresh support
+- **State Validation**: Built-in CSRF protection
+- **User Auto-Creation**: Automatically creates users on first login
+- **Unified Authentication**: OAuth2 and traditional auth share same session storage
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Database Setup
+
+```sql
+-- Run the schema from database_schema.sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    username VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    password VARCHAR(255),
+    user_level INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    roles VARCHAR(500),
+    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    last_login_at TIMESTAMP,
+    remote_id VARCHAR(255),
+    auth_provider VARCHAR(50)
+);
+
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user_sessions (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    session_token VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    expires_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    last_activity_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    ip_address VARCHAR(45),
+    user_agent TEXT,
+    access_token TEXT,
+    refresh_token TEXT,
+    token_type VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'Bearer',
+    auth_provider VARCHAR(50)
+);
+
+-- OAuth2 stored procedures (7 functions)
+-- See database_schema.sql for full implementation
+```
+
+### 2. Google OAuth2
+
+```go
+import "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/security"
+
+// Create authenticator
+oauth2Auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+    "your-google-client-id",
+    "your-google-client-secret",
+    "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+    db,
+)
+
+// Login route - redirects to Google
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/login", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    state, _ := oauth2Auth.OAuth2GenerateState()
+    authURL, _ := oauth2Auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL(state)
+    http.Redirect(w, r, authURL, http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+
+// Callback route - handles Google response
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/callback", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    code := r.URL.Query().Get("code")
+    state := r.URL.Query().Get("state")
+
+    loginResp, err := oauth2Auth.OAuth2HandleCallback(r.Context(), code, state)
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Set session cookie
+    http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+        Name:     "session_token",
+        Value:    loginResp.Token,
+        Path:     "/",
+        MaxAge:   int(loginResp.ExpiresIn),
+        HttpOnly: true,
+        Secure:   true,
+    })
+
+    http.Redirect(w, r, "/dashboard", http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+```
+
+### 3. GitHub OAuth2
+
+```go
+oauth2Auth := security.NewGitHubAuthenticator(
+    "your-github-client-id",
+    "your-github-client-secret",
+    "http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback",
+    db,
+)
+
+// Same routes pattern as Google
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/github/login", ...)
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/github/callback", ...)
+```
+
+### 4. Microsoft OAuth2
+
+```go
+oauth2Auth := security.NewMicrosoftAuthenticator(
+    "your-microsoft-client-id",
+    "your-microsoft-client-secret",
+    "http://localhost:8080/auth/microsoft/callback",
+    db,
+)
+```
+
+### 5. Facebook OAuth2
+
+```go
+oauth2Auth := security.NewFacebookAuthenticator(
+    "your-facebook-client-id",
+    "your-facebook-client-secret",
+    "http://localhost:8080/auth/facebook/callback",
+    db,
+)
+```
+
+## Custom OAuth2 Provider
+
+```go
+oauth2Auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+    ClientID:     "your-client-id",
+    ClientSecret: "your-client-secret",
+    RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/callback",
+    Scopes:       []string{"openid", "profile", "email"},
+    AuthURL:      "https://your-provider.com/oauth/authorize",
+    TokenURL:     "https://your-provider.com/oauth/token",
+    UserInfoURL:  "https://your-provider.com/oauth/userinfo",
+    DB:           db,
+    ProviderName: "custom",
+
+    // Optional: Custom user info parser
+    UserInfoParser: func(userInfo map[string]any) (*security.UserContext, error) {
+        return &security.UserContext{
+            UserName:  userInfo["username"].(string),
+            Email:     userInfo["email"].(string),
+            RemoteID:  userInfo["id"].(string),
+            UserLevel: 1,
+            Roles:     []string{"user"},
+            Claims:    userInfo,
+        }, nil
+    },
+})
+```
+
+## Protected Routes
+
+```go
+// Create security provider
+colSec := security.NewDatabaseColumnSecurityProvider(db)
+rowSec := security.NewDatabaseRowSecurityProvider(db)
+provider, _ := security.NewCompositeSecurityProvider(oauth2Auth, colSec, rowSec)
+securityList, _ := security.NewSecurityList(provider)
+
+// Apply middleware to protected routes
+protectedRouter := router.PathPrefix("/api").Subrouter()
+protectedRouter.Use(security.NewAuthMiddleware(securityList))
+protectedRouter.Use(security.SetSecurityMiddleware(securityList))
+
+protectedRouter.HandleFunc("/profile", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    userCtx, _ := security.GetUserContext(r.Context())
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(userCtx)
+})
+```
+
+## Token Refresh
+
+OAuth2 access tokens expire after a period of time. Use the refresh token to obtain a new access token without requiring the user to log in again.
+
+```go
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    var req struct {
+        RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+        Provider     string `json:"provider"` // "google", "github", etc.
+    }
+    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+
+    // Default to google if not specified
+    if req.Provider == "" {
+        req.Provider = "google"
+    }
+
+    // Use OAuth2-specific refresh method
+    loginResp, err := oauth2Auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, req.Provider)
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Set new session cookie
+    http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+        Name:     "session_token",
+        Value:    loginResp.Token,
+        Path:     "/",
+        MaxAge:   int(loginResp.ExpiresIn),
+        HttpOnly: true,
+        Secure:   true,
+    })
+
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+})
+```
+
+**Important Notes:**
+- The refresh token is returned in the `LoginResponse.RefreshToken` field after successful OAuth2 callback
+- Store the refresh token securely on the client side
+- Each provider must be configured with the appropriate scopes to receive a refresh token (e.g., `access_type=offline` for Google)
+- The `OAuth2RefreshToken` method requires the provider name to identify which OAuth2 provider to use for refreshing
+
+## Logout
+
+```go
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/logout", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    userCtx, _ := security.GetUserContext(r.Context())
+    
+    oauth2Auth.Logout(r.Context(), security.LogoutRequest{
+        Token:  userCtx.SessionID,
+        UserID: userCtx.UserID,
+    })
+
+    http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+        Name:   "session_token",
+        Value:  "",
+        MaxAge: -1,
+    })
+
+    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
+})
+```
+
+## Multi-Provider Setup
+
+```go
+// Single DatabaseAuthenticator with ALL OAuth2 providers
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "google-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "google-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"openid", "profile", "email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
+        TokenURL:     "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
+        ProviderName: "google",
+    }).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "github-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "github-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"user:email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize",
+        TokenURL:     "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://api.github.com/user",
+        ProviderName: "github",
+    })
+
+// Get list of configured providers
+providers := auth.OAuth2GetProviders() // ["google", "github"]
+
+// Google routes
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/login", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    state, _ := auth.OAuth2GenerateState()
+    authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("google", state)
+    http.Redirect(w, r, authURL, http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/callback", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2HandleCallback(r.Context(), "google", 
+        r.URL.Query().Get("code"), r.URL.Query().Get("state"))
+    // ... handle response
+})
+
+// GitHub routes
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/github/login", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    state, _ := auth.OAuth2GenerateState()
+    authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("github", state)
+    http.Redirect(w, r, authURL, http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/github/callback", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2HandleCallback(r.Context(), "github",
+        r.URL.Query().Get("code"), r.URL.Query().Get("state"))
+    // ... handle response
+})
+
+// Use same authenticator for protected routes - works for ALL providers
+provider, _ := security.NewCompositeSecurityProvider(auth, colSec, rowSec)
+securityList, _ := security.NewSecurityList(provider)
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### OAuth2Config Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| ClientID | string | OAuth2 client ID from provider |
+| ClientSecret | string | OAuth2 client secret |
+| RedirectURL | string | Callback URL registered with provider |
+| Scopes | []string | OAuth2 scopes to request |
+| AuthURL | string | Provider's authorization endpoint |
+| TokenURL | string | Provider's token endpoint |
+| UserInfoURL | string | Provider's user info endpoint |
+| DB | *sql.DB | Database connection for sessions |
+| UserInfoParser | func | Custom parser for user info (optional) |
+| StateValidator | func | Custom state validator (optional) |
+| ProviderName | string | Provider name for logging (optional) |
+
+## User Info Parsing
+
+The default parser extracts these standard fields:
+- `sub` → RemoteID
+- `email` → Email, UserName
+- `name` → UserName
+- `login` → UserName (GitHub)
+
+Custom parser example:
+
+```go
+UserInfoParser: func(userInfo map[string]any) (*security.UserContext, error) {
+    // Extract custom fields
+    ctx := &security.UserContext{
+        UserName:  userInfo["preferred_username"].(string),
+        Email:     userInfo["email"].(string),
+        RemoteID:  userInfo["sub"].(string),
+        UserLevel: 1,
+        Roles:     []string{"user"},
+        Claims:    userInfo, // Store all claims
+    }
+
+    // Add custom roles based on provider data
+    if groups, ok := userInfo["groups"].([]interface{}); ok {
+        for _, g := range groups {
+            ctx.Roles = append(ctx.Roles, g.(string))
+        }
+    }
+
+    return ctx, nil
+}
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use HTTPS in production**
+   ```go
+   http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+       Secure:   true,  // Only send over HTTPS
+       HttpOnly: true,  // Prevent XSS access
+       SameSite: http.SameSiteLaxMode, // CSRF protection
+   })
+   ```
+
+2. **Store secrets securely**
+   ```go
+   clientID := os.Getenv("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID")
+   clientSecret := os.Getenv("GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET")
+   ```
+
+3. **Validate redirect URLs**
+   - Only register trusted redirect URLs with OAuth2 providers
+   - Never accept redirect URL from request parameters
+
+5. **Session expiration**
+   - OAuth2 sessions automatically expire based on token expiry
+   - Clean up expired sessions periodically:
+   ```sql
+   DELETE FROM user_sessions WHERE expires_at < NOW();
+   ```
+
+4. **State parameter**
+   - Automatically generated with cryptographic randomness
+   - One-time use and expires after 10 minutes
+   - Prevents CSRF attacks
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+All database operations use stored procedures for consistency and security:
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getorcreateuser` - Find or create OAuth2 user
+- `resolvespec_oauth_createsession` - Create OAuth2 session
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getsession` - Validate and retrieve session
+- `resolvespec_oauth_deletesession` - Logout/delete session
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getrefreshtoken` - Get session by refresh token
+- `resolvespec_oauth_updaterefreshtoken` - Update tokens after refresh
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getuser` - Get user data by ID
+
+## Provider Setup Guides
+
+### Google
+
+1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
+2. Create a new project or select existing
+3. Enable Google+ API
+4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
+5. Add authorized redirect URI: `http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback`
+6. Copy Client ID and Client Secret
+
+### GitHub
+
+1. Go to [GitHub Developer Settings](https://github.com/settings/developers)
+2. Click "New OAuth App"
+3. Set Homepage URL: `http://localhost:8080`
+4. Set Authorization callback URL: `http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback`
+5. Copy Client ID and Client Secret
+
+### Microsoft
+
+1. Go to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
+2. Register new application in Azure AD
+3. Add redirect URI: `http://localhost:8080/auth/microsoft/callback`
+4. Create client secret
+5. Copy Application (client) ID and secret value
+
+### Facebook
+
+1. Go to [Facebook Developers](https://developers.facebook.com/)
+2. Create new app
+3. Add Facebook Login product
+4. Set Valid OAuth Redirect URIs: `http://localhost:8080/auth/facebook/callback`
+5. Copy App ID and App Secret
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "redirect_uri_mismatch" error
+- Ensure the redirect URL in code matches exactly with provider configuration
+- Include protocol (http/https), domain, port, and path
+
+### "invalid_client" error
+- Verify Client ID and Client Secret are correct
+- Check if credentials are for the correct environment (dev/prod)
+
+### "invalid_grant" error during token exchange
+- State parameter validation failed
+- Token might have expired
+- Check server time synchronization
+
+### User not created after successful OAuth2 login
+- Check database constraints (username/email unique)
+- Verify UserInfoParser is extracting required fields
+- Check database logs for constraint violations
+
+## Testing
+
+```go
+func TestOAuth2Flow(t *testing.T) {
+    // Mock database
+    db, mock, _ := sqlmock.New()
+    
+    oauth2Auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+        "test-client-id",
+        "test-client-secret",
+        "http://localhost/callback",
+        db,
+    )
+
+    // Test state generation
+    state, err := oauth2Auth.GenerateState()
+    assert.NoError(t, err)
+    assert.NotEmpty(t, state)
+
+    // Test auth URL generation
+    authURL := oauth2Auth.GetAuthURL(state)
+    assert.Contains(t, authURL, "accounts.google.com")
+    assert.Contains(t, authURL, state)
+}
+```
+

+# OAuth2 Refresh Token - Quick Reference
+
+## Quick Setup (3 Steps)
+
+### 1. Initialize Authenticator
+```go
+auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+    "client-id",
+    "client-secret", 
+    "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+    db,
+)
+```
+
+### 2. OAuth2 Login Flow
+```go
+// Login - Redirect to Google
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/login", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    state, _ := auth.OAuth2GenerateState()
+    authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("google", state)
+    http.Redirect(w, r, authURL, http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+
+// Callback - Store tokens
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/callback", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    loginResp, _ := auth.OAuth2HandleCallback(
+        r.Context(),
+        "google",
+        r.URL.Query().Get("code"),
+        r.URL.Query().Get("state"),
+    )
+    
+    // Save refresh_token on client
+    // loginResp.RefreshToken - Store this securely!
+    // loginResp.Token - Session token for API calls
+})
+```
+
+### 3. Refresh Endpoint
+```go
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    var req struct {
+        RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+    }
+    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+    
+    // Refresh token
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, "google")
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), 401)
+        return
+    }
+    
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Provider Example
+
+```go
+// Configure multiple providers
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ProviderName: "google",
+        ClientID:     "google-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "google-secret",

+        AuthURL:      "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
+        TokenURL:     "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
+    }).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ProviderName: "github",

+
+// Refresh with provider selection
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

+
+---
+
+## Security Checklist
+
+- [ ] Use HTTPS for all OAuth2 endpoints
+- [ ] Store refresh tokens securely (HttpOnly cookies or encrypted storage)
+- [ ] Set cookie flags: `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Strict`
+- [ ] Implement rate limiting on refresh endpoint
+- [ ] Log refresh attempts for audit
+- [ ] Rotate tokens on refresh
+- [ ] Revoke old sessions after successful refresh
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# 1. Login and get refresh token
+curl http://localhost:8080/auth/google/login
+# Follow OAuth2 flow, get refresh_token from callback response
+
+# 2. Refresh token
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/auth/refresh \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"refresh_token":"ya29.xxx","provider":"google"}'
+
+# 3. Use new token
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/protected \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer sess_abc123..."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pre-configured Providers
+
+```go
+// Google
+auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// GitHub  
+auth := security.NewGitHubAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// Microsoft
+auth := security.NewMicrosoftAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// Facebook
+auth := security.NewFacebookAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// All providers at once
+auth := security.NewMultiProviderAuthenticator(db, map[string]security.OAuth2Config{
+    "google": {...},
+    "github": {...},
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Provider-Specific Notes
+
+### Google
+- Add `access_type=offline` to get refresh token
+- Add `prompt=consent` to force consent screen
+```go
+authURL += "&access_type=offline&prompt=consent"
+```
+
+### GitHub
+- Refresh tokens not always provided
+- May need to request `offline_access` scope
+
+### Microsoft
+- Use `offline_access` scope for refresh token
+
+### Facebook
+- Tokens expire after 60 days by default
+- Check app settings for token expiration policy

+# OAuth2 Refresh Token Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+OAuth2 refresh token functionality is **fully implemented** in the ResolveSpec security package. This allows refreshing expired access tokens without requiring users to re-authenticate.
+
+## Implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETE
+
+### Components Implemented
+
+1. **✅ Database Schema** - Tables and stored procedures
+2. **✅ Go Methods** - OAuth2RefreshToken implementation
+3. **✅ Thread Safety** - Mutex protection for provider map
+4. **✅ Examples** - Working code examples
+5. **✅ Documentation** - Complete API reference
+
+---
+
+## 1. Database Schema
+
+### Tables Modified
+
+```sql
+-- user_sessions table with OAuth2 token fields
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user_sessions (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    session_token VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    expires_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    last_activity_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    ip_address VARCHAR(45),
+    user_agent TEXT,
+    access_token TEXT,          -- OAuth2 access token
+    refresh_token TEXT,         -- OAuth2 refresh token
+    token_type VARCHAR(50),     -- "Bearer", etc.
+    auth_provider VARCHAR(50)   -- "google", "github", etc.
+);
+```
+
+### Stored Procedures
+
+**`resolvespec_oauth_getrefreshtoken(p_refresh_token)`**
+- Gets OAuth2 session data by refresh token
+- Returns: `{user_id, access_token, token_type, expiry}`
+- Location: `database_schema.sql:714`
+
+**`resolvespec_oauth_updaterefreshtoken(p_update_data)`**
+- Updates session with new tokens after refresh
+- Input: `{user_id, old_refresh_token, new_session_token, new_access_token, new_refresh_token, expires_at}`
+- Location: `database_schema.sql:752`
+
+**`resolvespec_oauth_getuser(p_user_id)`**
+- Gets user data by ID for building UserContext
+- Location: `database_schema.sql:791`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Go Implementation
+
+### Method Signature
+
+```go
+func (a *DatabaseAuthenticator) OAuth2RefreshToken(
+    ctx context.Context,
+    refreshToken string,
+    providerName string,
+) (*LoginResponse, error)
+```
+
+**Location:** `pkg/security/oauth2_methods.go:375`
+
+### Implementation Flow
+
+```
+1. Validate provider exists
+   ├─ getOAuth2Provider(providerName) with RLock
+   └─ Return error if provider not configured
+
+2. Get session from database
+   ├─ Call resolvespec_oauth_getrefreshtoken(refreshToken)
+   └─ Parse session data {user_id, access_token, token_type, expiry}
+
+3. Refresh token with OAuth2 provider
+   ├─ Create oauth2.Token from stored data
+   ├─ Use provider.config.TokenSource(ctx, oldToken)
+   └─ Call tokenSource.Token() to get new token
+
+4. Generate new session token
+   └─ Use OAuth2GenerateState() for secure random token
+
+5. Update database
+   ├─ Call resolvespec_oauth_updaterefreshtoken()
+   └─ Store new session_token, access_token, refresh_token
+
+6. Get user data
+   ├─ Call resolvespec_oauth_getuser(user_id)
+   └─ Build UserContext
+
+7. Return LoginResponse
+   └─ {Token, RefreshToken, User, ExpiresIn}
+```
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+**Mutex Protection:** All access to `oauth2Providers` map is protected with `sync.RWMutex`
+
+```go
+type DatabaseAuthenticator struct {
+    oauth2Providers      map[string]*OAuth2Provider
+    oauth2ProvidersMutex sync.RWMutex  // Thread-safe access
+}
+
+// Read operations use RLock
+func (a *DatabaseAuthenticator) getOAuth2Provider(name string) {
+    a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.RLock()
+    defer a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.RUnlock()
+    // ... access map
+}
+
+// Write operations use Lock
+func (a *DatabaseAuthenticator) WithOAuth2(cfg OAuth2Config) {
+    a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.Lock()
+    defer a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.Unlock()
+    // ... modify map
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Usage Examples
+
+### Single Provider (Google)
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "database/sql"
+    "encoding/json"
+    "net/http"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/security"
+    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    db, _ := sql.Open("postgres", "connection-string")
+    
+    // Create Google OAuth2 authenticator
+    auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+        "your-client-id",
+        "your-client-secret",
+        "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+        db,
+    )
+    
+    router := mux.NewRouter()
+    
+    // Token refresh endpoint
+    router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        var req struct {
+            RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+        }
+        json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+        
+        // Refresh token (provider name defaults to "google")
+        loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, "google")
+        if err != nil {
+            http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+            return
+        }
+        
+        // Set new session cookie
+        http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+            Name:     "session_token",
+            Value:    loginResp.Token,
+            Path:     "/",
+            MaxAge:   int(loginResp.ExpiresIn),
+            HttpOnly: true,
+            Secure:   true,
+        })
+        
+        json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+    })
+    
+    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
+}
+```
+
+### Multi-Provider Setup
+
+```go
+// Single authenticator with multiple OAuth2 providers
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "google-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "google-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"openid", "profile", "email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
+        TokenURL:     "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
+        ProviderName: "google",
+    }).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "github-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "github-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"user:email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize",
+        TokenURL:     "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://api.github.com/user",
+        ProviderName: "github",
+    })
+
+// Refresh endpoint with provider selection
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    var req struct {
+        RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+        Provider     string `json:"provider"` // "google" or "github"
+    }
+    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+    
+    // Refresh with specific provider
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, req.Provider)
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+        return
+    }
+    
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+})
+```
+
+### Client-Side Usage
+
+```javascript
+// JavaScript client example
+async function refreshAccessToken() {
+    const refreshToken = localStorage.getItem('refresh_token');
+    const provider = localStorage.getItem('auth_provider'); // "google", "github", etc.
+    
+    const response = await fetch('/auth/refresh', {
+        method: 'POST',
+        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+        body: JSON.stringify({
+            refresh_token: refreshToken,
+            provider: provider
+        })
+    });
+    
+    if (response.ok) {
+        const data = await response.json();
+        
+        // Store new tokens
+        localStorage.setItem('access_token', data.token);
+        localStorage.setItem('refresh_token', data.refresh_token);
+        
+        console.log('Token refreshed successfully');
+        return data.token;
+    } else {
+        // Refresh failed - redirect to login
+        window.location.href = '/login';
+    }
+}
+
+// Automatically refresh token when API returns 401
+async function apiCall(endpoint) {
+    let response = await fetch(endpoint, {
+        headers: {
+            'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + localStorage.getItem('access_token')
+        }
+    });
+    
+    if (response.status === 401) {
+        // Token expired - try refresh
+        const newToken = await refreshAccessToken();
+        
+        // Retry with new token
+        response = await fetch(endpoint, {
+            headers: {
+                'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + newToken
+            }
+        });
+    }
+    
+    return response.json();
+}

+## 4. API Reference
+
+### DatabaseAuthenticator Methods
+
+| Method | Signature | Description |
+|--------|-----------|-------------|
+| `OAuth2RefreshToken` | `(ctx, refreshToken, provider) (*LoginResponse, error)` | Refreshes expired OAuth2 access token |
+| `WithOAuth2` | `(cfg OAuth2Config) *DatabaseAuthenticator` | Adds OAuth2 provider (chainable) |
+| `OAuth2GetAuthURL` | `(provider, state) (string, error)` | Gets authorization URL |
+| `OAuth2HandleCallback` | `(ctx, provider, code, state) (*LoginResponse, error)` | Handles OAuth2 callback |
+| `OAuth2GenerateState` | `() (string, error)` | Generates CSRF state token |
+| `OAuth2GetProviders` | `() []string` | Lists configured providers |
+
+### LoginResponse Structure
+
+```go
+type LoginResponse struct {
+    Token        string       // New session token
+    RefreshToken string       // New refresh token (may be same as input)
+    User         *UserContext // User information
+    ExpiresIn    int64        // Seconds until expiration
+}
+
+type UserContext struct {
+    UserID    int      // Database user ID
+    UserName  string   // Username
+    Email     string   // Email address
+    UserLevel int      // Permission level
+    SessionID string   // Session token
+    RemoteID  string   // OAuth2 provider user ID
+    Roles     []string // User roles
+    Claims    map[string]any // Additional claims
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Important Notes
+
+### Provider Configuration
+
+**For Google:** Add `access_type=offline` to get refresh token on first login:
+
+```go
+auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(clientID, clientSecret, redirectURL, db)
+// When generating auth URL, add access_type parameter
+authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("google", state)
+authURL += "&access_type=offline&prompt=consent"
+```
+
+**For GitHub:** Refresh tokens are not always provided. Check provider documentation.
+
+### Token Storage
+
+- Store refresh tokens securely on client (localStorage, secure cookie, etc.)
+- Never log refresh tokens
+- Refresh tokens are long-lived (days/months depending on provider)
+- Access tokens are short-lived (minutes/hours)
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Common errors:
+- `"invalid or expired refresh token"` - Token expired or revoked
+- `"OAuth2 provider 'xxx' not found"` - Provider not configured
+- `"failed to refresh token with provider"` - Provider rejected refresh request
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use HTTPS** for token transmission
+2. **Store refresh tokens securely** on client
+3. **Set appropriate cookie flags**: `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite`
+4. **Implement token rotation** - issue new refresh token on each refresh
+5. **Revoke old tokens** after successful refresh
+6. **Rate limit** refresh endpoints
+7. **Log refresh attempts** for audit trail
+
+---
+
+## 6. Testing
+
+### Manual Test Flow
+
+1. **Initial Login:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8080/auth/google/login
+   # Follow redirect to Google
+   # Returns to callback with LoginResponse containing refresh_token
+   ```
+
+2. **Wait for Token Expiry (or manually expire in DB)**
+
+3. **Refresh Token:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/auth/refresh \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+       "refresh_token": "ya29.a0AfH6SMB...",
+       "provider": "google"
+     }'
+   
+   # Response:
+   {
+     "token": "sess_abc123...",
+     "refresh_token": "ya29.a0AfH6SMB...",
+     "user": {
+       "user_id": 1,
+       "user_name": "john_doe",
+       "email": "john@example.com",
+       "session_id": "sess_abc123..."
+     },
+     "expires_in": 3600
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Use New Token:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8080/api/protected \
+     -H "Authorization: Bearer sess_abc123..."
+   ```
+
+### Database Verification
+
+```sql
+-- Check session with refresh token
+SELECT session_token, user_id, expires_at, refresh_token, auth_provider
+FROM user_sessions
+WHERE refresh_token = 'ya29.a0AfH6SMB...';
+
+-- Verify token was updated after refresh
+SELECT session_token, access_token, refresh_token, 
+       expires_at, last_activity_at
+FROM user_sessions
+WHERE user_id = 1
+ORDER BY created_at DESC
+LIMIT 1;
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Troubleshooting
+
+### "Refresh token not found or expired"
+
+**Cause:** Refresh token doesn't exist in database or session expired
+
+**Solution:**
+- Check if initial OAuth2 login stored refresh token
+- Verify provider returns refresh token (some require `access_type=offline`)
+- Check session hasn't been deleted from database
+
+### "Failed to refresh token with provider"
+
+**Cause:** OAuth2 provider rejected the refresh request
+
+**Possible reasons:**
+- Refresh token was revoked by user
+- OAuth2 app credentials changed
+- Network connectivity issues
+- Provider rate limiting
+
+**Solution:**
+- Re-authenticate user (full OAuth2 flow)
+- Check provider dashboard for app status
+- Verify client credentials are correct
+
+### "OAuth2 provider 'xxx' not found"
+
+**Cause:** Provider not registered with `WithOAuth2()`
+
+**Solution:**
+```go
+// Make sure provider is configured
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ProviderName: "google", // This name must match refresh call
+        // ... other config
+    })
+
+// Then use same name in refresh
+auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(ctx, token, "google") // Must match ProviderName
+```
+

+# Passkey Authentication Quick Reference
+
+## Overview
+Passkey authentication (WebAuthn/FIDO2) is now integrated into the DatabaseAuthenticator. This provides passwordless authentication using biometrics, security keys, or device credentials.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Database Schema
+Run the passkey SQL schema (in database_schema.sql):
+- Creates `user_passkey_credentials` table
+- Adds stored procedures for passkey operations
+
+### Go Code
+```go
+// Create passkey provider
+passkeyProvider := security.NewDatabasePasskeyProvider(db, 
+    security.DatabasePasskeyProviderOptions{
+        RPID:     "example.com",

+        UserID:      1,
+        Username:    "alice",
+        DisplayName: "Alice Smith",
+    })
+// Send options to client as JSON
+```
+
+### Frontend - Step 2: Create Credential
+```javascript
+// Convert options from server
+options.challenge = base64ToArrayBuffer(options.challenge);
+options.user.id = base64ToArrayBuffer(options.user.id);
+
+// Create credential
+const credential = await navigator.credentials.create({
+    publicKey: options
+});
+
+// Send credential back to server
+```
+
+### Backend - Step 3: Complete Registration
+```go
+credential, err := auth.CompletePasskeyRegistration(ctx, 
+    security.PasskeyRegisterRequest{
+        UserID:            1,
+        Response:          clientResponse,
+        ExpectedChallenge: storedChallenge,
+        CredentialName:    "My iPhone",
+    })
+```
+
+## Authentication Flow
+
+### Backend - Step 1: Begin Authentication
+```go
+options, err := auth.BeginPasskeyAuthentication(ctx,
+    security.PasskeyBeginAuthenticationRequest{
+        Username: "alice", // Optional for resident key
+    })
+// Send options to client as JSON
+```
+
+### Frontend - Step 2: Get Credential
+```javascript
+// Convert options from server
+options.challenge = base64ToArrayBuffer(options.challenge);
+
+// Get credential
+const credential = await navigator.credentials.get({
+    publicKey: options
+});
+
+// Send assertion back to server
+```
+
+### Backend - Step 3: Complete Authentication
+```go
+loginResponse, err := auth.LoginWithPasskey(ctx,
+    security.PasskeyLoginRequest{
+        Response:          clientAssertion,
+        ExpectedChallenge: storedChallenge,

+            "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0...",
+        },
+    })
+// Returns session token and user info
+```
+
+## Credential Management
+
+### List Credentials
+```go
+credentials, err := auth.GetPasskeyCredentials(ctx, userID)
+```
+
+### Update Credential Name
+```go
+err := auth.UpdatePasskeyCredentialName(ctx, userID, credentialID, "New Name")
+```
+
+### Delete Credential
+```go
+err := auth.DeletePasskeyCredential(ctx, userID, credentialID)
+```
+
+## HTTP Endpoints Example
+
+### POST /api/passkey/register/begin
+Request: `{user_id, username, display_name}`
+Response: PasskeyRegistrationOptions
+
+### POST /api/passkey/register/complete
+Request: `{user_id, response, credential_name}`
+Response: PasskeyCredential
+
+### POST /api/passkey/login/begin
+Request: `{username}` (optional)
+Response: PasskeyAuthenticationOptions
+
+### POST /api/passkey/login/complete
+Request: `{response}`
+Response: LoginResponse with session token
+
+### GET /api/passkey/credentials
+Response: Array of PasskeyCredential
+
+### DELETE /api/passkey/credentials/{id}
+Request: `{credential_id}`
+Response: 204 No Content
+
+## Database Stored Procedures
+
+- `resolvespec_passkey_store_credential` - Store new credential
+- `resolvespec_passkey_get_credential` - Get credential by ID
+- `resolvespec_passkey_get_user_credentials` - Get all user credentials
+- `resolvespec_passkey_update_counter` - Update sign counter (clone detection)
+- `resolvespec_passkey_delete_credential` - Delete credential
+- `resolvespec_passkey_update_name` - Update credential name
+- `resolvespec_passkey_get_credentials_by_username` - Get credentials for login
+
+## Security Features
+
+- **Clone Detection**: Sign counter validation detects credential cloning
+- **Attestation Support**: Stores attestation type (none, indirect, direct)
+- **Transport Options**: Tracks authenticator transports (usb, nfc, ble, internal)
+- **Backup State**: Tracks if credential is backed up/synced
+- **User Verification**: Supports preferred/required user verification
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **WebAuthn Library**: Current implementation is simplified. For production, use a proper WebAuthn library like `github.com/go-webauthn/webauthn` for full verification.
+
+2. **Challenge Storage**: Store challenges securely in session/cache. Never expose challenges to client beyond initial request.
+
+3. **HTTPS Required**: Passkeys only work over HTTPS (except localhost).
+
+4. **Browser Support**: Check browser compatibility for WebAuthn API.
+
+5. **Relying Party ID**: Must match your domain exactly.
+
+## Client-Side Helper Functions
+
+```javascript
+function base64ToArrayBuffer(base64) {
+    const binary = atob(base64);
+    const bytes = new Uint8Array(binary.length);
+    for (let i = 0; i < binary.length; i++) {
+        bytes[i] = binary.charCodeAt(i);
+    }
+    return bytes.buffer;
+}
+
+function arrayBufferToBase64(buffer) {
+    const bytes = new Uint8Array(buffer);
+    let binary = '';
+    for (let i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
+        binary += String.fromCharCode(bytes[i]);
+    }
+    return btoa(binary);
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run tests: `go test -v ./pkg/security -run Passkey`
+
+All passkey functionality includes comprehensive tests using sqlmock.

+## Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
+
+### Overview
+
+- **Optional per-user** - Enable/disable 2FA individually
+- **TOTP standard** - Compatible with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.
+- **Configurable** - SHA1/SHA256/SHA512, 6/8 digits, custom time periods
+- **Backup codes** - One-time recovery codes with secure hashing
+- **Clock skew** - Handles time differences between client/server
+
+### Setup
+
+```go
+// 1. Wrap existing authenticator with 2FA support
+baseAuth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db)
+tfaProvider := security.NewMemoryTwoFactorProvider(nil) // Use custom DB implementation in production
+tfaAuth := security.NewTwoFactorAuthenticator(baseAuth, tfaProvider, nil)
+
+// 2. Use as normal authenticator
+provider := security.NewCompositeSecurityProvider(tfaAuth, colSec, rowSec)
+securityList := security.NewSecurityList(provider)
+```
+
+### Enable 2FA for User
+
+```go
+// 1. Initiate 2FA setup
+secret, err := tfaAuth.Setup2FA(userID, "MyApp", "user@example.com")
+// Returns: secret.Secret, secret.QRCodeURL, secret.BackupCodes
+
+// 2. User scans QR code with authenticator app
+// Display secret.QRCodeURL as QR code image
+
+// 3. User enters verification code from app
+code := "123456" // From authenticator app
+err = tfaAuth.Enable2FA(userID, secret.Secret, code)
+// 2FA is now enabled for this user
+
+// 4. Store backup codes securely and show to user once
+// Display: secret.BackupCodes (10 codes)
+```
+
+### Login Flow with 2FA
+
+```go
+// 1. User provides credentials
+req := security.LoginRequest{
+    Username: "user@example.com",
+    Password: "password",
+}
+
+resp, err := tfaAuth.Login(ctx, req)
+
+// 2. Check if 2FA required
+if resp.Requires2FA {
+    // Prompt user for 2FA code
+    code := getUserInput() // From authenticator app or backup code
+    
+    // 3. Login again with 2FA code
+    req.TwoFactorCode = code
+    resp, err = tfaAuth.Login(ctx, req)
+    
+    // 4. Success - token is returned
+    token := resp.Token
+}
+```
+
+### Manage 2FA
+
+```go
+// Disable 2FA
+err := tfaAuth.Disable2FA(userID)
+
+// Regenerate backup codes
+newCodes, err := tfaAuth.RegenerateBackupCodes(userID, 10)
+
+// Check status
+has2FA, err := tfaProvider.Get2FAStatus(userID)
+```
+
+### Custom 2FA Storage
+
+**Option 1: Use DatabaseTwoFactorProvider (Recommended)**
+
+```go
+// Uses PostgreSQL stored procedures for all operations
+db := setupDatabase()
+
+// Run migrations from totp_database_schema.sql
+// - Add totp_secret, totp_enabled, totp_enabled_at to users table
+// - Create user_totp_backup_codes table
+// - Create resolvespec_totp_* stored procedures
+
+tfaProvider := security.NewDatabaseTwoFactorProvider(db, nil)
+tfaAuth := security.NewTwoFactorAuthenticator(baseAuth, tfaProvider, nil)
+```
+
+**Option 2: Implement Custom Provider**
+
+Implement `TwoFactorAuthProvider` for custom storage:
+
+```go
+type DBTwoFactorProvider struct {
+    db *gorm.DB
+}
+
+func (p *DBTwoFactorProvider) Enable2FA(userID int, secret string, backupCodes []string) error {
+    // Store secret and hashed backup codes in database
+    return p.db.Exec("UPDATE users SET totp_secret = ?, backup_codes = ? WHERE id = ?", 
+        secret, hashCodes(backupCodes), userID).Error
+}
+
+func (p *DBTwoFactorProvider) Get2FASecret(userID int) (string, error) {
+    var secret string
+    err := p.db.Raw("SELECT totp_secret FROM users WHERE id = ?", userID).Scan(&secret).Error
+    return secret, err
+}
+
+// Implement remaining methods: Generate2FASecret, Validate2FACode, Disable2FA,
+// Get2FAStatus, GenerateBackupCodes, ValidateBackupCode
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+```go
+config := &security.TwoFactorConfig{
+    Algorithm:  "SHA256",  // SHA1, SHA256, SHA512
+    Digits:     8,         // 6 or 8
+    Period:     30,        // Seconds per code
+    SkewWindow: 2,         // Accept codes ±2 periods
+}
+
+totp := security.NewTOTPGenerator(config)
+tfaAuth := security.NewTwoFactorAuthenticator(baseAuth, tfaProvider, config)
+```
+
+### API Response Structure
+
+```go
+// LoginResponse with 2FA
+type LoginResponse struct {
+    Token              string              `json:"token"`
+    Requires2FA        bool                `json:"requires_2fa"`
+    TwoFactorSetupData *TwoFactorSecret    `json:"two_factor_setup,omitempty"`
+    User               *UserContext        `json:"user"`
+}
+
+// TwoFactorSecret for setup
+type TwoFactorSecret struct {
+    Secret      string   `json:"secret"`         // Base32 encoded
+    QRCodeURL   string   `json:"qr_code_url"`    // otpauth://totp/...
+    BackupCodes []string `json:"backup_codes"`   // 10 recovery codes
+}
+
+// UserContext includes 2FA status
+type UserContext struct {
+    UserID           int    `json:"user_id"`
+    TwoFactorEnabled bool   `json:"two_factor_enabled"`
+    // ... other fields
+}
+```
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+- **Store secrets encrypted** - Never store TOTP secrets in plain text
+- **Hash backup codes** - Use SHA-256 before storing
+- **Rate limit** - Limit 2FA verification attempts
+- **Require password** - Always verify password before disabling 2FA
+- **Show backup codes once** - Display only during setup/regeneration
+- **Log 2FA events** - Track enable/disable/failed attempts
+- **Mark codes as used** - Backup codes are single-use only
