In the settings of the plugin you can also define a Redirect to after login url. Use a relative url like /profile-page to redirect users to a custom page. Alternatively leave the page blank to redirect users to the WordPress backend. Login To add the login code to your website add the [almefy-login] shortcode to your page. Alternatively you may add it via do_shortcode('[almefy-login]'); to your theme. If you would like to redirect users to the backend when logging in via the WordPress login at /wp-login.php but to a profile page when logging in via the the frontend you have to: – Leave the Redirect to after login empty in the plugin settings – Set the ‘redirect’ variable on the shortcode Example: [almefy-login redirect="/profile"] Device Management The built in device manager is found in the backend Users -> Profile. If you do not want your users to have access to the WordPress backend but let them manage their devices, add the [almefy-devices] shortcode to a custom profile page. Connecting new devices When creating an account, users will receive an email asking them to connect their device. Further devices may be connected in the backend Users -> Profile. To add management options like connecting and removing devices to the frontend of your website, you may include the device connection shortcode to a profile page using [almefy-connect]. Password-free Registration (Optional) You may add password free registration by adding the [almefy-register] shortcode. Disabling require_username will result in users just being prompted for an email address. The button text is customizable by setting the button_text variable. Example: [almefy-register require_username="false" button_text="Sign Up Now!"]; License GNU General Public License v2.0 – GNU Project – Free Software Foundation https://www.gnu.org Contact – Almefy : 2FA Authentication in one step https://almefy.com

The Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress gives you two-factor authentication using the Google Authenticator app for Android/iPhone/Blackberry. If you are security aware, you may already have the Google Authenticator app installed on your smartphone, using it for two-factor authentication on Gmail/Dropbox/Lastpass/Amazon etc. The two-factor authentication requirement can be enabled on a per-user basis. You could enable it for your administrator account, but log in as usual with less privileged accounts. If You need to maintain your blog using an Android/iPhone app, or any other software using the XMLRPC interface, you can enable the App password feature in this plugin, but please note that enabling the App password feature will make your blog less secure.
