LoginPress is one of the best WordPress login page customizer plugins that lets you create a custom login page for your WordPress according to your requirements. 

We're pleased to announce that LoginPress is fully compatible with Two-Factor. So, you can use LoginPress with Two-Factor and make your login page secure. It will enable no hacker to reach the backend of your WordPress admin dashboard. 

Note: LoginPress doesn’t include Two-Factor Authentication by default. We recommend the Two-Factor plugin. However, you can use different Two-Factor plugins.

In this knowledgebase article, we'll show you how to use LoginPress with Two-Factor Authentication.

How does LoginPress work with the Two-Factor Plugin

Note: We assume that you’ve already installed and activated both plugins, LoginPress and Two-Factor. 

All you need to do is to go to the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Users, and click Profile. 

Once you scroll down, you can see the Two-Factor Options section.

To get your Time Based One-Time Password (TOTP), install the Google Authenticator app on your mobile. 

Once you’ve got the app, you’ll see two options, Scan a QR code and Enter a setup key. Simply select Scan a QR code.

Google Authenticator QR code scanner will open up. Now, scan the QR code you see in the Two-Facor WordPress interface.

Next, you’ll get a notification to ensure the Google Authenticator app has been connected to your site. 

After you scan the QR code, you will see a 6-digit OTP code in the Google Authenticator app that is valid for only 30 seconds. 

Enter this  6-digit OTP into Two-Facor’s  Authentication Code field and click the Submit button.

Once you fill in Authentication Code, you’ll see the notification, i.e., the Secret key is configured and registered, exactly where you saw the QR code.

Tick mark the Enabled and primary check boxes.

All done; now click on the Update Profile button.

Two-Factors has now merged with your WordPress website. Now, every time you’ll try to log in, Google Authenticator will send a OTP to the Google Authenticator app on your mobile phone to verify it. You cannot log in without an authentication code.

All done! Now you know LoginPress is fully compatible with Two-Factor. You’ve made your WordPress site protected against brute force attacks.  Since the hacker cannot access your site unless they have a Backup code, Email OTP, and any other option you’ve enabled to log in. 

Enjoy using LoginPress and Two-Factor together!
