Capturas

  • The first-time install wizard allows you to setup 2FA on your website and for your user within seconds.
  • The wizards make setting up 2FA very easy, so even non technical users can setup 2FA without requiring help.
  • You can require users to enable 2FA and also give them a grace period to do so.
  • Users can also use one-time codes via email as a two-factor authentication method.
  • You can use policies to require users to instantly set up and use 2FA, so the next time they login they will be prompted with this.

  • It is recommended for all users to also generate backup codes, in case they cannot access the primary device.
  • In the user profile users only have a few 2FA options, so it is not confusing for them and everything is self explanatory.

After researching several 2FA plugins, we chose this one based on strong recommendations and its extensive range of customisable features, including role-specific 2FA methods and custom email templates. We encountered a minor performance issue due to an edge case involving a specific combination of plugins on our site, but the support team was excellent and resolved the issue promptly.
