    WordPress Two Factor Authentication TFA Plugin Description

    The password is the standard security implementation in the computer world. However, passwords can be guessed, hacked, or intercepted. To combat these weaknesses you should install a two-factor authentication solution, which isn’t vulnerable to brute-force attacks

    Securing Users Accounts

    Unlike passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA) is a two-step process that asks for an additional unique identification such as sending a one time passcode to your mobile phone, sending a one time passcode to your email account or by using an external service such as Google Authenticator

    The Secure WordPress Login plugin from CreativeMinds offers a robust solution for two-factor authentication. It lets the WordPress administrator choose a method from the four available to secure the WordPress site login

    The WordPress Two-Factor Authentication plugin also lets the WordPress administrator define which user roles require two-factor login. The admin can of course apply our enhanced security check for all users

    • Two Factor Authentication using a Mobile phone by sending an SMS
    • Two Factor Authentication using a verification link which is sent to the user’s email

    How can the SMS service send a text if I don't have the user's mobile phone number?

    Once you activate the SNS service, a new user field is added to the user profile with the user’s mobile phone number. The first time the user logs in, the system sends them an email asking them to enter their mobile phone number. Once they do this, the information is saved in their user profile.

    Can I set the 2FA to only work for admin users?

    Sure. You can define that only users with admin roles have to use the two factor authentication. All other users will be logged in normally.

    Can each user use a different 2FA method?

    No, this is not supported. Once the admin sets the preferred 2FA method, all users which are included in the 2FA setting will be using the set method. The admin can change the method which will also require all users to use the new method.

    Will it work with WooCommerce Form?

    Yes. Since version 1.4.5 we have added support to include the 2FA method in the WooCommerce form.
