Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Disposable email blocking — Block signups from temporary and throwaway email providers, covering 430+ known domains
  • AI risk scoring — Score every signup from 0 to 100 before it becomes a customer, so risky registrations are caught even when the address looks ordinary
  • AI temp-mail matcher — Catch brand-new disposable domains before public blocklists have caught up with them
  • Bot-cluster detection — Identify coordinated attack patterns across multiple signups rather than judging each one in isolation
  • DNS-based MX record validation — Confirm the email domain has a working mail server before an OTP is ever sent
  • OTP verification at checkout — Require guest users to verify their email before completing a purchase, blocking fake and fraudulent orders at checkout
  • Cart page verification — Optionally trigger email verification from the cart page, before the customer even reaches checkout
  • Phone (SMS) verification — Verify customers with an SMS OTP instead of, or alongside, email — via MSG91, Twilio, Vonage or WhatsApp
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) — Add Google Authenticator, Authy or Microsoft Authenticator for stronger account security
  • Login authentication — Require OTP verification when a customer logs in from an unrecognized device or browser
  • New device/location detection — Define what counts as an unrecognized login — new device, new browser, new location, or after a set period of inactivity
  • Require OTP at every login — A universal authentication mode for stores that need it

  • Absolutely useless plugin

    The plugin is absolutely useless.It adds an OTP form to the front end, but it doesn't stop bots from creating fake accounts. The plugin's protection can easily be bypassed by sending a POST request to /my-account/ with body: email=EMAIL&woocommerce-register-nonce=NONCE&register=Register

  • Very limited features

    The plugin does not support social register/login. Only pro version has the support for only 2 social login plugins which are not free. So you have to pay for 2 different plugins. Does not support custom HTML email templates in free or pro version. The inbuilt email template looks very basic and not good, the template builder has very limited customization. If you are looking for OTP based login and registration, check out Digits in codecanyon. It will save you a ton of money and has lot more feature.

  • Simple and Elegant

    At first I was a bit reluctant to use this plugin since it has not been updated for a few months and there were 1 or 2 negative reviews, but after trying a few others and having little success, I decided to try it. The plugin worked perfectly and the popup is a really nice touch. Importantly, I like that you can customise the verification email, something other free plugins do not allow. The email is sent via Woocommerce, so it has the coloured bar at the top and the shop logo. Some of the other plugins I tried, sent an email containing a single line of text which got instantly junked! This plugin is simple, elegant and gets the job done. I would recommend it for small e-commerce stores that are on a tight budget.

  • The Best Login/Email Verification Plugin

    A fantastic plugin that does everything you need it to for customer verification, even allowing users to login the first time without verification, but giving them a very nicely designed verification popup upon their second login. 5/5

  • Broken plugin, bad support

    This plugin is not working. I tried my best to contact the developer and help them to troubleshoot the issue but they were not able to solve it. The email with the code never arrives for newly registered users.I did what they asked but it did not help.Installed it on two fresh servers, one local and one hosted, with no other plugin installed, it still doesn't work. The support reply was "We are not supposed to provide answers for a free plugin". How are they going to sell the product then?

  • Works as intended, great support

    The plugin works flawlessly and has very simple and easy settings. The customer support team was also very quick in resolving a bug I reported. Overall, I'm very happy that after trying out other similar plugins, I found one that actually WORKS for my current setup. It's definitely worth the money.
