Secure your WordPress Administration area with 2FAS Classic plugin
Each time you log in to the WordPress admin area, you will be requested by the system to provide an additional way of authentication in the form of TOTP codes.
To secure your mobile phone from loss or apps being deleted, you can generate a list of once-off backup codes, or pin a credit card to the system, and receive codes via SMS or VMS.
2FAS is available to all users as soon as it’s installed and registered. Registration is needed because the 2FAS Classic plugin communicates with the powerful 2FAS API.
That gives an opportunity to make authentications, send text messages, make automated voice calls and many more.
If you want to go beyond the basic plugin. Go for our upgraded plugin 2FAS Prime. Advantages of 2FAS Prime plugin:
– No registration required
– Easy to set up
– Simple to use
– Free
If you use 2FAS Authenticator App, the 2nd stage of user verification can be carried out by confirming the login on your phone without the need to re-type the token in the browser (Push Notifications).
2FA Authenticator can be configured for any TOTP based Authentication Method for providing an additional layer of security of Two Factor Authentication(2FA).
2FAS plugin works perfectly with 2FAS Authenticator app but supports also other 2FA apps based on TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password).
We use third party services to make this plugin work:
– https://2fas.com – for authentication requests and communication with a mobile app
– https://pusher.com – for a realtime feedback in a browser
Get instant protection against:
Brute-force attacks
It happens that the encrypted password for the portal is hacked due to outdated software or plugins. It is only a matter of time before the encoded hash password will be decrypted and will appear online. You don’t have to worry about it if you use the 2FAS Classic plugin. Even if the attacker knows your password, he still has to enter the one-time token generated by 2FAS App to gain access to your account.
WordPress takeovers
Many people use the same password or a similar password for many online services. ‘Weak’ and repeatedly used passwords remain a major cybersecurity vulnerability. You effectively reduce that risk when you carefully choose your passwords and enable Two Factor Authentication with the 2FAS Prime plugin.
Phishing and keylogger attacks
Enable the 2FAS Classic to protect your WordPress site and make sure that the devices used by you or other users are completely free of keyloggers and viruses.
Any password discovery attempt is useless with 2FAS. Without your token generated by the 2FAS app or other 2FA app., conventional access to your WordPress site is almost impossible.
