The users will have to enter a one time password every time they log in. Why You Need This ----------------- [](#why-you-need-this) Users can have common or weak passwords, and this lets hackers and bots brute force their passwords and get access to their account. If the site is protected with a similar plugin, an intruder cannot get access to the account even if they know the password: this is where the second factor comes into play: to log in, they need to know the one time password. How Does It Work? ----------------- [](#how-does-it-work) This plugin uses the industry standard [Time](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm) or [Hash](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm)based One-time Password Algorithm to generate one time passwords. One time passwords generated by the plugin can either be delivered by email, or be shown by third party applications (such as Google Authenticator). Because third party applications have to be configured first (you need to scan a QR code or enter some details manually), by default one time passwords are delivered by email. System Requirements ------------------- [](#system-requirements) - PHP 7.2 or newer - OpenSSL extension Installation ------------ [](#installation) At the moment, only installation via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is supported. To install the plugin, please run ``` composer require wildwolf/wp-two-factor-auth ``` in your WordPress root directory. The, please go to the Dashboard > Plugins, and activate the plugin. ### Health Score 44 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance62 Regular maintenance activity Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 62.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
