Users for whom it is enabled will require a one-time code in order to log in. From the authors of UpdraftPlus - WP's #1 backup/restore plugin, with over a million active installs. Are you completely new to TFA? If so, please see our FAQ. Features (please see the "Screenshots" for more information): * 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 required for specified user levels, after a defined time period (e.g. require all admins to have TFA, once their accounts are a week old) (Premium version) * Supports front-end editing of settings, via [twofactor_user_settings] shortcode (i.e. users don't need access to the WP dashboard). (The Premium version allows custom designing of any layout you wish). * Works together with "Theme My Login" (https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/) (both forms and widgets) * Includes support for the WooCommerce and Affiliates-WP login forms * 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) * WP Multisite compatible (plugin should be network activated) * Simplified user interface and code base for ease of use and performance * Added a number of extra security checks to the original forked code * Emergency codes for when you lose your phone/tablet (Premium version) * Administrators can access other users' codes, and turn them on/off when needed (Premium version) = Why? = Read this! http://www.wired.com/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/ = How Does It Work? = This plugin uses the industry standard algorithm [TOTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm) or [HOTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm) for creating One Time Passwords. These are used by Google Authenticator, Authy, and many other OTP applications that you can deploy on your phone etc. A TOTP code is valid for a certain time. Whatever program you use (i.e. Google Authenticator, etc.) will show a different code every so often. = Plugin Notes = This plugin began life as a friendly fork and enhancement of Oscar Hane's https://wordpress.org/plugins/two-factor-auth/ == Installation == This plugin requires PHP version 5.3 or higher and support for [PHP mcrypt](http://www.php.net/manual/en/mcrypt.installation.php). The vast majority of PHP setups will have these. If not, ask your hosting company. 1. Search for 'Two Factor Authentication' in the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 2. Click the 'Install' button. (Make sure you picks the right one) 3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 4. Find site-wide settings in Settings -> Two Factor Authentication ; find your own user settings in the top-level menu entry "Two Factor Auth". If you want to add a section to the front-end of your site where users can configure their two-factor authentication settings, use this shortcode: [twofactor_user_settings] == Frequently Asked Questions == = What is two factor authentication? = Basically, it's to do with securing your logins, so that there's more than one link in the chain needing to be broken before an unwanted intruder can get in your website. By default, your WordPress accounts are protected by only one thing: your password. If that's broken, then everything's wide open. "Two factor" means adding a second requirement. Usually, this is a code that comes to a device you own (e.g. phone, tablet) - so, someone can't get into your website without getting hold of your device. You can get a longer answer from Wikipedia. Sometimes it is also called multi-factor authentication instead of two-factor - because someone could secure their systems with as many factors as they like. = Why should I care? = Read this: http://www.wired.com/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/ = How does two factor authentication work? = Since "two factor authentication" just means "a second something is necessary to get in", this answer depends upon the particular set-up. In the most common case, a numeric code is shown on your phone, tablet or other device. This code be sent via an SMS; this then depends on the mobile phone network working. This plugin does not uses that method. Instead, it uses a standard mathematical algorithm to generate codes that are only valid once each, or for only for 30 seconds (depending on which algorithm you choose). Your phone or tablet can know the code after it has been set up once (often, by just scanning a bar-code off the screen). = What do I need to set up on my phone/tablet (etc.) in order to generate the codes? = This depends on your particular make of phone, and your preferences. Google have produced a popular app called "Google Authenticator", which is a preferred option for many people because it is easy to use and can be set up via just scanning a bar code off your screen - follow this link, and ignore the first paragraph that is talking about 2FA on your Google account (rather than being relevant to this plugin). = What if I do not have a phone or tablet? = Many and various devices and programs can generate the codes. One option is an add-on for your web browser; for example, here are some apps and add-ons for Google Chrome. Wikipedia lists various programs for different computers. = I lost my device that has pass-codes - or, they don't work. What to do? = If your pass-code used to work, but no longer does, then check that the time on your device that generates them is accurate. If you cannot get in and need to disable two-factor authentication, then add this to your wp-config.php file, using FTP or the file manager in your hosting control panel: define('TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE', true); Add it next to where any other line beginning with "define" is. Alternatively, if you have FTP or cPanel access to your web hosting space, you can de-activate the plugin; see this article: https://updraftplus.com/understanding-wordpress-installs-plugins/ = What are HOTP and TOTP? = These are the names of the two mathematical algorithms that are used to create the special codes. These are industry-standard algorithms, devised by expert cryptographers. HOTP is less popular, but the device that generates the codes does not need to know the correct time (instead, the codes are generated in a precise sequence). TOTP is much more popular, and generates codes that are only valid for 30 seconds (and so your device needs to know the time). I'd recommend TOTP, as HOTP can be annoying if something causes the sequences to get out of sync. = What is the shortcode to use for front-end settings? = [twofactor_user_settings] == Screenshots == 1.

Note that if you migrate a site from a server without openssl to a server without mcrypt, then because of mcrypt's non-compliant padding, you will need to either install php-mcrypt on the new server, or disable TFA (via define('TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE', true); in your wp-config.php) to allow users to be able to log in. This also applies if the source site did have openssl, but for users who hadn't logged in since installing this update. * TWEAK: Make the $simba_two_factor_authentication_premium object globally available * COMPATIBILITY: Mark as tested on WP 4.5 = 1.2.8 - 12/Dec/2015 = * FEATURE: Add support for the Affiliates-WP login form * TWEAK: Defeat WooCommerce loading an old version of the select2 script onto the TFA settings page, and breaking the user selector (should work this time) = 1.2.6 - 11/Nov/2015 = * TWEAK: Defeat WooCommerce loading an old version of the select2 script onto the TFA settings page, and breaking the user selector * TWEAK: Tested on WordPress 4.4 * TWEAK: Use h1 for heading style on admin page, not h2 * FIX: The "You'll need to use TFA to login in future" link for users for whom TFA is compulsory (Premium) was to the wrong page = 1.2.4 - 09/Nov/2015 = * TWEAK: Make window settings filterable = 1.2.3 - 19/Oct/2015 = * FIX: Fix bug in 1.2.2 that could lock out users without TFA settings = 1.2.2 - 16/Oct/2015 = * TWEAK: Display dashboard notice if TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE is defined in wp-config.php, to prevent time wasted wondering why nothing is happening = 1.2.1 - 08/Oct/2015 = * FEATURE: (Premium version) - Require users (of configured roles) to use TFA (optionally after a configurable amount of time) = 1.1.21 - 25/Aug/2015 = * TRANSLATIONS: Translation files can now be used (translators welcome!) * TRANSLATION: Swedish translation added, courtesy of Bo Sving = 1.1.19 - 20/Aug/2015 = * TWEAK: Remove a pointless nonce check = 1.1.18 - 01/Aug/2015 = * COMPATIBILITY: Tested with WP 4.3 (RC1) and WooCommerce 2.4 (RC1) - no issues found (i.e. previous releases believed to be already compatible) * FIX: When the admin is showing codes for other users, QR codes were not displaying correctly since 1.1.13 = 1.1.17 - 22/May/2015 = * TWEAK: Introduce convenience method for developers wanting to verify that TFA is active (Premium) * FIX: Fix operation of [twofactor_conditional] shortcode (Premium) * FIX: Fix fatal error introduced in convenience method in 1.1.16 = 1.1.15 - 13/May/2015 = * FIX: Fix conflict with 'reset password' form with "Theme My Login" plugin = 1.1.14 - 12/May/2015 = * FIX: Add TFA support to the WooCommerce login-on-checkout form (previously, TFA-enabled users could not log in using it) = 1.1.13 - 11/May/2015 = * TWEAK: Use jquery-qrcode to generate QR codes, replacing external dependency on Google * TWEAK: Update bundled select2 library to 4.0.0 release (was rc2) = 1.1.12 - 22/Apr/2015 = * FIX: Fix corner-case where the user's login looked like an email address, but wasn't the account address.
