Description

Use the “Two-Factor Options” section under “Users” → “Your Profile” to enable and configure one or multiple two-factor authentication providers for your account:

  • Email codes
  • Time Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP)
  • FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F)
  • Backup Codes
  • Dummy Method (only for testing purposes)

For more history, see this post.

Actions & Filters

Here is a list of action and filter hooks provided by the plugin:

  • two_factor_providers filter overrides the available two-factor providers such as email and time-based one-time passwords. Array values are PHP classnames of the two-factor providers.
  • two_factor_enabled_providers_for_user filter overrides the list of two-factor providers enabled for a user. First argument is an array of enabled provider classnames as values, the second argument is the user ID.
  • two_factor_user_authenticated action which receives the logged in WP_User object as the first argument for determining the logged in user right after the authentication workflow.
  • two_factor_token_ttl filter overrides the time interval in seconds that an email token is considered after generation. Accepts the time in seconds as the first argument and the ID of the WP_User object being authenticated.

Great plugin

bolhachefe December 7, 2020
This is a great plugin and is the only one I know of that provides two authentication factors per email code.

More security to your blog

I have been using this plugin for a long time. Now that Safari 14 is the fastest browser, I have noticed that the Fido U2F functionality of this plugin does not work. I don't know if it is a problem with Safari, or the plugin. I hope it will work again soon.

Doesn’t work with security key

Donald Jenkins October 30, 2020
This plugin works with an authenticator app, but the security key feature is defective. Message to support elicited no reply, leading one to wonder whether this plugin is still being actively developed.

It’s so good that you’d want it to be a part of WP core

Ashutosh Sharma October 29, 2020
I really love this plugin. And the best thing is that unlike some other plugins that don't work with custom login pages or membership plugins, it works without any effort! Thanks to all the collaborators who have put their time and effort!

Very good!

FIDO U2F support is very nice!

Must-Have

If you value your security - this is a no-brainer.
