Description
Gatalyn Login Approval enhances the security of your WordPress site by requiring an additional layer of approval whenever someone attempts to log in. You can configure the plugin to send an approval link via Email, Telegram, or both.
The plugin supports two modes:
* Before Login: The user enters their username/email first, receives an approval link, and only after clicking it they can enter their password to log in.
* After Login: The user enters their username and password as usual, but the login is held until they approve it via the link sent to them.
Features include:
* Email and Telegram notifications
* IP whitelisting to bypass approvals for trusted networks
* Customizable email/Telegram subjects and messages
* Token expiration times
