Abstract: This work is presenting the design and implementation of a two-factor authentication login system using mobile SMS. The main aim of this project is to build, present and add new security layer for the E- Government websites of KRG-Iraq that proposed by the IT section in the KRG Ministry Council. The plan of KRG IT section is to tie individuals to do their works and activities formally over the KRG official websites. However, the login security of such websites should be controlled so that unauthorized users should not be able to access to data belonged to other users. This work follows the scenario-based software engineering that thoroughly developers can collect requirements, and accordingly, the proposed project could be designed and achieved correctly. The developed project has been tested based on reviewing ten software testers. The overall acceptability that obtained from the assigned software testers is 86.7%.
