Two Factor Auth for WordPress

Why You Need This Users can have common or weak passwords that lets hackers/bots brute-force your WordPress site and gain access to your files and place malware there.

Just like happend not that long ago: Article on TechCrunch

If all sites would have used this plugin, this would never happend.

It doesn’t matter how weak your users passwords are, no one can gain access to your WordPress site

without already having access to the users mobile phone or email inbox (depending on how the user gets his OTP).

How Does It Work? This plugin uses the industry standard algorithm TOTP or HOTP for creating One Time Passwords.

A OTP is valid for a certain time and after that a new code has to be entered.

You can now choose to use third party apps like Google Authenticator which is available for most mobile platforms. You can really use any

third party app that supports TOTP/HOTP that generates 6 digits OTP’s.

Or, as before, you can choose to get your One Time Passwords by email.

Since you have to enter a secret code to third party apps, email is the default way of delivering One Time Passwords. Your

users will have to activate delivery by third party apps themselves.

Easy To Use Just install this plugin and you’re all set. There’s really nothing more to it.
