  • An essential plugin which works great

    I'm a fan of Google Authenticator, so was very pleased to find this plugin. The only thing I would add is the ability to write down a 'backup code' when enabling 2FA - not a big problem, since you print or save the QR code somewhere safe, which effectively serves as the backup code.

  • Free Version Works Flawlessly

    Had a problem with another 2-step verification plugin after updating to php 7.0. This one works great. I'm only using the free version but it's all I need for now. I also like that the user interface blends nicely with my wp login page. Set up is easy and simple as well.
