OTP Content Protect vs WP-OTP

As a WordPress owner who values both security and a seamless user experience, you often face the challenge of protecting sensitive information. Most password solutions force your visitors to register for an account, granting them potential access to your WordPress environment. This is where “OTP Content Protect” comes in, offering an innovative way to protect your content with a One-Time Password (OTP). Our plugin was designed to give you full control over your content without opening the doors to your WordPress backend for strangers. Easily and effectively protect individual posts, pages, or even downloads. Your visitors don’t need an account and don’t have to register—they simply enter the one-time password you provide and get instant access. By not granting unnecessary backend access, you actively minimize the risk of hacker or spam activities. “OTP Content Protect” is the perfect blend of simplicity, security, and innovation, making it the ideal password protection for your WordPress site when you need to lock specific content without burdening users with registration. Support & Feature Requests We are constantly developing the plugin and welcome your feedback! For questions or issues, please use the official Support Forum on WordPress.org or report a bug directly via our Submit a Bug form. Have an idea for a new feature?

Flexible Content Protection: Secure posts, pages, or any custom post type. Simple Password Generation: Creates secure, alphanumeric OTPs (8–10 characters). Full Control: Stores creation date, optional expiration date, and a timestamp of when it was used. Reusable Passwords: A used OTP can easily be reset for reuse.

Clean Uninstall: An uninstall script completely removes all plugin data from the database upon deletion if desired. Built for the World: Fully internationalized (i18n) and ready for translation. Usage Go to the OTP Protect settings page. Select the content to protect and generate or enter an OTP. (Optional) Set an expiration date. Save the OTP and share it with the intended users. When a visitor accesses the protected content, they will see a simple input form for the password. Upon valid entry, the original content is displayed instantly. In the admin overview, you can easily reset or delete used OTPs.

With WP-OTP you can easily set up 2 Factor Authentication with One Time Passwords for your WordPress login. This extra layer makes your WordPress site a lot more secure. The new stealth mode allows for invisible OTP code entry, making your login screen look like any other, no extra OTP code input field. Getting started After installing and activating the plugin, every user can enable WP-OTP on their profile page. It’s as easy as scanning the provided QR Code or entering the OTP secret to any OTP generator app. Then just activate it by entering the generated OTP and voilà, all set up. Now, the login requires an OTP code to succeed. Each user gets their own secret key to authenticate with, giving them control over their login security.
