“Two Factor Authentication” (TFA) is a tried-and-tested way to secure your WordPress site from unwanted logins.

By default, WordPress is protected only by a password. Once somebody guesses your password, they have all access. “Two Factor” security is about adding a second factor. This plugin uses the most popular implementation of TFA: one-time codes that are shown on your phone/tablet/other device, but which do not require you to be connected to a network (i.e. you don’t need to be online/receiving SMSes, etc.).

Features:

  • Supports standard TOTP + HOTP protocols (and so supports Google Authenticator, Authy, and many others).
  • Displays graphical QR codes for easy scanning into apps on your phone/tablet
  • TFA can be made available on a per-role basis (e.g. available for admins, but not for subscribers)
  • TFA can be turned on or off by each user
  • TFA can be made compulsory for chosen user roles (e.g. for all admins and editors), after a configurable time period to allow them to set it up (e.g. after 7 days)
  • Supports front-end editing of settings – any layout you wish (using standard WordPress shortcodes)
  • Site owners can allow “trusted devices” on which TFA codes are only asked for a chosen number of days (instead of every login); e.g. 30 days
  • Includes native support for the built-in WordPress, WooCommerce, Theme My Login, Elementor, Affiliates-WP, CozmosLabs Profile Builder, Gravity Forms User Registration add-on, Ultimate Member, Ultimate Membership Pro, bbPress and WP Members login forms; also supports any login form at all via appending your TFA code to your password (e.g. works with login forms that don’t follow internal WP conventions)
  • Optional anti-bot protection on WooCommerce login forms, hiding the existence of the form unless JavaScript is active.
  • Does not mention or request second factor until the user has been identified as one with TFA enabled (i.e. nothing is shown to users who do not have it enabled)
  • Encrypt the TFA-generating secret keys using an on-disk encryption key, so that an attacker would need to break into both your WordPress database and your files in order to break TFA codes (as well as breaking a user’s password in order to use them).
  • WP Multisite compatible (plugin should be network activated)
  • Simplified user interface and code base for ease of use and performance
  • Emergency codes for when you lose your phone/tablet
  • Administrators can access other users’ codes, and turn them on/off when needed
  • Translatable – we have a website where you can easily add translations into your own language, if you wish
  • Alert users if someone appears to have found out their password, as indicated by successfully entering a password but repeatedly entering an incorrect TFA code.

All WordPress versions from 3.4 onwards, including the current release, are supported.

Short-codes

The following short-codes are available:

twofactor_user_settings : This short-code will display the whole user configuration. Use this to allow your users to get/set their TFA settings. Alternatively, to design the page yourself, you can use the individual short-codes, following:

twofactor_user_settings_enabled : Display the option to turn TFA on or off.

twofactor_user_qrcode : Display the user’s QR code for scanning.

twofactor_user_emergencycodes : Display the user’s emergency codes.

twofactor_user_advancedsettings : Display the user’s advanced settings (e.g. selecting TOTP or HOTP).

twofactor_user_privatekeys : Display the user’s private keys. Use the ‘type’ parameter, with values ‘full’ (default), ‘plain’, ‘base32’ or ‘base64’ to control exactly what is displayed.

twofactor_user_privatekeys_reset : Display a link for the user to reset (change) their private key.

twofactor_user_currentcode : Display the current TFA code.

twofactor_user_presstorefresh : Wrap this shortcode around any HTML that you want to cause the current TFA code (displayed by the twofactor_user_currentcode shortcode) to refresh when clicked.

twofactor_conditional : Wrap this shortcode around any content that you wish to be displayed only if the condition is met. The condition is specified by the “onlyif” parameter, with valid values: active, inactive, available, unavailable. The content will be shown depending on whether the user has TFA available (i.e. the administrator has allowed it for their user level)/activated. You can use this, for example, to display notices to your users to suggest that they activate TFA, or to remind them that it is available, etc.
