Attention – nasty trap

In my search for a plugin for 2-factor authentication for our website, I gladly accepted Pixelite’s recommendation as a satisfied Events Manager user. However, after the installation initially went smoothly, it got extremely stuck in the implementation and even led to the point that I could no longer log in to my site as an admin – the error came up that my login data supposedly no longer worked correctly. Fortunately, I had tested it in parallel via incognito mode in another browser window and was thus able to avoid a lot of damage and trouble, as I was still logged in elsewhere and was able to deactivate the plugin or try out different settings…

In the end, the solution was quite simple – I had to add the AJAX effects to the regular WP login forms, i.e. check the corresponding box in the settings. But I only came up with this by trial and error, as the documentation is completely inadequate.

So be careful when installing and using the plugin – don’t let it become a nasty trap and exclude yourself from your site!

And @pixelite – you should really think carefully about whether you publish such a plugin in this form and with this risk for the user. But I will keep the plugin and see if it does what it is supposed to do or if there are more problems with it…
