Improve your **WordPress login security** with **multi-factor authentication (MFA)** by adding a second verification step after password login. The **free** plan allows** up to 5 users** to complete 2FA setup on your site; **premium** removes that cap and adds advanced enforcement (trusted devices, multisite, branding, and more). Set up **2FA for WordPress** in minutes for admins, editors, and customers where you enable it. Enable **2FA** on standard **wp-login**, **WooCommerce** login, and **custom login forms**—each login can require a second factor for users who have completed setup( subject to your role and user limits on free). * Easy setup wizard * Multiple 2FA methods including OTP, SMS, Email, and authenticator apps * Works with WordPress login, WooCommerce login, and many custom login forms * Suitable for blogs, business sites, WooCommerce stores, and enterprise sites Quick Links: [Setup Guide](https://plugins.miniorange.com/step-by-step-guide-for-wordpress-2-factor-authentication) | [Features](https://plugins.miniorange.com/2-factor-authentication-for-wordpress-wp-2fa) | [Support](https://faq.miniorange.com/) ### WordPress 2FA Login Security Widely used on WordPress sites to strengthen login authentication and help prevent unauthorized access. ### Why Use Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?

Yes. You can protect **WooCommerce** login and related flows so customers and shop staff use **2FA** wherever you enable it. ### What if I get locked out? You can use backup codes, email verification, or disable the plugin via FTP. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/190dabfa9cb6f9542a43931dda00218bc05a6087fc96eb31877668a2fc471af5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Support Help from miniOrange](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-help-from-miniorange/)󠁿 [abgallery](https://profiles.wordpress.org/abgallery/) June 2, 2026 Abhiraj Pratap Singh was very helpful and very patient. We appreciate the time that was spent with us to solve the 2FA issue. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/373c02d4c8c788b2a55734137535cfdc3f042f894a6ee23ce8b64f45e3afee3e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin and technical support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-and-technical-support-6/)󠁿 [victornunez](https://profiles.wordpress.org/victornunez/) May 20, 2026 It works exactly as described; the free version is brilliant, but if you need to be able to control more aspects—as is the case for me—the paid version is well worth it. What’s more, their customer support is fantastic; they respond very quickly to any queries or issues you might have. Highly recommended—for me, it’s now an absolute must-have. Well done to the developers. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f3a32731af9ed8f5a9d09505596b261037aaab047e4f45ec16329fb0b7189fca? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin and customer support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-and-customer-support-36/)󠁿 [qlemar06](https://profiles.wordpress.org/qlemar06/) March 11, 2026 Anuradha has been great at assisting us with the plugin setup and answering our questions promptly.

The guys at miniOrange patiently worked with me to integrate 2FA while overcoming the longtime technical debt inherited from my paywall’s creation by a committed but totally non-professional (and long gone) webmaster.  At my request, they created a module (which, somehow, they did not offer previously) to allow for subscriber-initiated changes to an already-selected 2FA OTP delivery method; hopefully this will be of use to many more of their own customers, going forward.  They are clearly eager to work with their customers for a bespoke solution, as needed, at a VERY reasonable rate—which is fortunate, as my guess is that most solutions will require some custom integration over the base service fee.  Also, despite the time zone difference, for a U.S. customer they are quite easy to work with, very flexible and accommodating, in the (U.S. ET) morning or late evening or both.  I am SO GLAD that I found miniOrange, and I wish them continued growth and all possible success!!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f33deeb03fcbf529369a9ff851cf7a4f23b7088734ddef523175cac7884f4663? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Potential vulnerability (they are working on it)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-plugin-hacked-lackluster-response/)󠁿 [awfominaya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/awfominaya/) November 6, 2025 3 replies I discussed with the team that there is a hack allowing tokens to be sent without going through the login screen. As long as the user does not accept the login tokens, the overall security has held, but this is a vulnerability. Today Vikas and I hopped on a call to review this activity and he agreed the attackers are bypassing the login process somehow. He confirmed that his team will begin working on this immediately. I feel their response was slower than necessary but am now convinced they are addressing the right concerns. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eef159e1d9f003a900906c9272616e6c3859ef0b7c0cea713e81157e28e98ff3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good Plugin with Great Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-with-great-support-41/)󠁿 [sainiinder08](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sainiinder08/) May 23, 2025 I had purchased premium plugin however for some features I need a support. The support was exceptional.Sandesh , the support guy is a legend. He helped me in all the issues I’ve faced and update the plugin accordingly.
