Secure Passkeys vs SX User Name Security

Secure Passkeys is a powerful WordPress plugin that enables seamless passwordless authentication using WebAuthn technology. By eliminating the need for traditional passwords, it enhances security and improves the user login experience. With support for biometric authentication, security keys, and device-bound credentials, Secure Passkey provides a robust and user-friendly solution for modern authentication. Unlike traditional password-based authentication, Secure Passkey leverages cryptographic key pairs to ensure secure logins. The private key remains securely stored on the user’s device, while the public key is registered with the WordPress site. This method protects against phishing attacks and password breaches, ensuring that only authorized users can gain access. Secure Passkeys integrates effortlessly into WordPress, allowing users to register and manage their passkeys from their profile settings. Once registered, users can log in using their fingerprint, face recognition, or a hardware security key without the need to remember or enter a password.

WordPress show your WordPress login and ID in several places. It’s time to fix this ! WordPress automaticaly uses “User login” to fill in the “User Display Name”. WordPress also allows everyone to use the same value for Nickname, Display Name and Login. The body_class function also shows to everyone your User ID and Login on author pages. A hacker can easily see then use your “NickName” or “Display Name” to find your real login. Once activated, SX User Name Security will prevent WordPress from showing those informations, and will warn you if you need to fix old users. Features Body_class function: Removes User ID from body_class function (front-end users pages) Removes User Nicename from body_class function (front-end users pages) Current User informations: The plugin changes “Display Name” and “Nickname” to a random value (like ‘Ticibe T. Aduvoguripe’, ‘Lagubo N. Agigerovibe’ or ‘Datela N. Orejadavino’) if they are identiqual to user login If not, it changes “Display Name” to “Nickname” or “Nickname” to “Display Name” if one of them is identiqual to user login New Registration: Display Name and Nickname are changed to random value during user registration.
