To help you get started, there’s a comprehensive video tutorial available that guides you through the process of setting. ### Features * Secure login via OTP sent to user’s email. * Role-based OTP enforcement. * Uses native wp-login.php form — no custom forms required. * Session-based OTP handling for security. * Expiring OTP (default: 40 seconds). * No third-party dependencies. ### Donate If you find this plugin useful and want to support its development, you can make a donation via the following link: [Donate Here](https://donate.stripe.com/3cI5kE7sv6ex30s5LB5kk2x) Your donation helps to ensure that this plugin remains free and receives regular updates! ### Credits The plugin development was supported by [webnotics], [sumitkamboj53].
