Descripción
This plugin enhances the default WordPress login security by adding a One-Time Password (OTP) verification step via email:
- Users log in with their regular email/username and password.
- If credentials are valid, an OTP is generated and emailed to the user.
- A popup is shown on the same login page (
wp-login.php) to enter the OTP. - Once the correct OTP is entered, the user is logged in.
To help you get started, there’s a comprehensive video tutorial available that guides you through the process of setting.
Features
- Secure login via OTP sent to user’s email.
- Role-based OTP enforcement.
- Uses native wp-login.php form — no custom forms required.
- Session-based OTP handling for security.
- Expiring OTP (default: 40 seconds).
- No third-party dependencies.
