## Description

LoginArmor adds an extra layer of protection to WordPress logins by requiring a 
one-time verification code after a valid username and password are entered.

#### Key features

 * Email-based one-time passcodes for WordPress logins
 * Apply 2FA to selected user roles
 * Apply 2FA to specific users
 * Optional grace period before activation is enforced
 * Recovery codes for backup access
 * Customizable email subject and login code email template
 * Optional debug logging to `wp-content/uploads/loginarmor-email-2fa/loginarmor-
   debug.log`
 * Dedicated settings screen inside the WordPress admin

#### How it works

 1. A user enters a valid username and password.
 2. LoginArmor sends a one-time code to the user’s email address.
 3. The user enters the code to complete login.
 4. If needed, the user can use a recovery code instead.

#### Recovery codes

The plugin includes recovery codes as a backup login option. Codes are stored securely
as hashes in user meta. Plaintext codes are shown only temporarily so users can 
save or download them once.

#### Grace period

You can optionally set a grace period in days. During the grace period, eligible
users can continue signing in while they complete activation. After the grace period
ends, 2FA is enforced.

#### No external service required

LoginArmor uses WordPress email delivery and does not require a third-party 2FA 
service.

### Privacy

LoginArmor does not connect to an external third-party verification service.

The plugin may process and store the following data on your WordPress site:

 * Email-based one-time passcodes for login verification
 * Recovery code hashes stored in user meta
 * Optional debug log entries in `wp-content/uploads/loginarmor-email-2fa/loginarmor-
   debug.log`
 * Temporary transients used for login, cooldown, and verification flow

This data stays on your site unless your own email delivery system or hosting stack
routes it elsewhere.
