## Description

Digipacket Login Security adds strong, standards-based two-factor authentication
to any WordPress site. It uses the TOTP algorithm (RFC 6238), so it works with Google
Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, FreeOTP and any standard authenticator
app — with **no external service or cloud dependency**. Everything runs on your 
own server.

#### Key features

 * **TOTP** compatible with Google Authenticator and all standard apps.
 * **Choice of method** — each user picks an authenticator app (TOTP) or a one-time
   code sent by e-mail at login.
 * **QR Code enrolment** rendered locally on the user profile screen (no external
   image service).
 * **Mandatory code verification** after every login.
 * **Single-use backup codes** for account recovery if the device is lost.
 * **Brute-force protection** — lock an account after a configurable number of failed
   attempts, for a configurable duration. Blocks further sign-ins even with the 
   correct password during the lockout window.
 * **Security e-mail alerts** — notify the account owner when repeated wrong-password
   attempts or too many incorrect 2FA codes are detected.
 * **Login notifications** — e-mail the user and/or the administrator (per selected
   roles) with sign-in details (user, date, IP, browser).
 * **Login screen warning** — optional full-screen security notice that visitors
   must accept before signing in.
 * **Enforce 2FA by role** with a configurable grace period.
 * **Admin reset** of a user’s 2FA from the Users list, plus a 2FA status column.
 * **Audit log** of all security events with filtering by role or user.
 * **Modern admin interface** — dashboard, focused settings tabs and an About page.
 * **Translatable** — ships with French (fr_FR) and English.

#### Privacy & external services

By default, Digipacket Login Security does not send any data to external services.
All secrets, codes and logs are stored in your own WordPress database, and e-mails
are sent through your site’s standard `wp_mail()` function.

Optional Telegram notifications (disabled by default): if you enable them and provide
your own bot token and chat ID, the plugin sends security-event details (event type,
username, IP address, date) to the Telegram Bot API at https://api.telegram.org 
so the message can be delivered to your chosen Telegram chat. This only happens 
while the feature is enabled and configured.

 * Telegram Bot API: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api
 * Telegram Privacy Policy: https://telegram.org/privacy

## Installation

 1. In WordPress, go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Select `digipacket-login-security.zip`, click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
 3. Go to **Users  Profile** and enable 2FA on your own account first.
 4. Configure site-wide options under **Digipacket Login Security** in the admin menu.

Manual installation: copy the `digipacket-login-security` folder into `wp-content/
plugins/` and activate it from the Plugins screen.

## FAQ

### Which authenticator apps are supported?

Any standard TOTP (RFC 6238) app: Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator,
FreeOTP, 1Password, and more.

### Does it work without sending data to a third party?

Yes. Core 2FA has no external service or cloud dependency — the QR code is generated
locally and all data stays on your server. The only optional exception is Telegram
notifications, which are disabled by default and only contact api.telegram.org when
you enable them with your own bot token (see Privacy & external services).

### A user is locked out. How do I help them?

Administrators can reset a user’s 2FA from the Users list (the “Reset 2FA” row action),
allowing them to enrol again.

### My notification e-mails land in spam.

This is a mail-deliverability matter, not a plugin issue. Configure an SMTP plugin
and set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC for your domain so messages are authenticated.

### Does 2FA apply to REST API / XML-RPC / Application Passwords?

The interactive second factor applies to the browser login form. Non-interactive
API authentication intentionally bypasses it — use Application Passwords for programmatic
access.

   and all standard apps, plus an e-mail one-time-code method.

 * Configurable brute-force lockout (number of attempts and duration) with real 
   sign-in enforcement.
 * Security e-mail alerts for repeated wrong-password attempts and 2FA lockouts.
 * Login notifications with sign-in details (user, date, IP, browser), scoped by
   role, to the user and/or administrator.
 * Optional login-screen security warning popup with a customizable message.
 * Audit log of security events with filtering by role or user.
