Title: Support for Two Factor Authentication Last modified: September 26, 2017 --- # Support for Two Factor Authentication * [Mark Cutting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcutting/) * (@mcutting) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-two-factor-authentication/) * Hi. Is there any support for two factor authentication ? For example, I am using a paid version of this – [https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/two-factor-authentication/](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/two-factor-authentication/) and would like to continue to do so. * Is there any planned integration for UM ? * Thanks Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Support [Ultimate Member Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ultimatemembersupport/) * (@ultimatemembersupport) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-two-factor-authentication/#post-9535128) * Hi [@mcutting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcutting/), * Unfortunately, we don’t support two factor authentication in the current version of the plugin, however, I will discuss this option with the team. Thanks for letting us know. * Regards. * Thread Starter [Mark Cutting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcutting/) * (@mcutting) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-two-factor-authentication/#post-9587513) * Hi. I’ve been speaking to the developer of the Google Two Factor Authentication plugin here – [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-ultimate-member/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-ultimate-member/) * I’m confident we can get this working easily with ultimate member, but as per the last post, we need an idea of the events sequence in order to insert the 2FA requirement. * Essentially, the 2FA part is only invoked after successful username and password authentication, so will be inserted just after the login hook. Can anyone offer any assistance here please ? * Ultimate member doesn’t have 2FA capabilities out of the box, so this would be a great start. * Thanks * Thread Starter [Mark Cutting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcutting/) * (@mcutting) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-two-factor-authentication/#post-9590997) * Does anyone actually read these forums ?? * Decided to use a workaround in order to get the two factor I needed. It’s a bit convoluted, but here goes * 1. Leave Ultimate Member installed and functional, handling everything but the login and logout functions 2. Install Theme My Login and let this handle the login and logout functions (note that if you have existing slugs for login and logout, these pages should be deleted 3. Point Ultimate Member at the new pages for login and logout 4. Modify CSS for TML so that it matches the style of UM 5. Install and activate Two Factor Authentication plugin. Configure as necessary 6. In my case, I have the full suite of plugins for UM so I also included shortcodes for Social Media Login etc in the same page 7. Using a custom set of functions, modified the URL for register, reset password etc to UM pages. Don’t have the functions to hand at present, but I’d anyone wants these, just let me know 8. Test all functions. As TML is handling the login session, the 2FA component works as intended. Register simply forwards onto UM so this works as expected 9. Logout uses TML and works as expected * I would advise against creating the pages in advance and then having TML create btw ones, as the meta tags do not activate when running validations such as bad username and password etc. * Again, a slightly convoluted and long way round solution, but it works as intended and to the user, looks exactly the same. * I just hope that the developers of Two Factor Authentication and UM can come up with a working 2FA solution. Both are well written and flexible plugins, yet don’t seem to support our interact with each other. It’s a pity, but I hope this changes soon on both fronts – particularly as I have a premium subscription for both. * Thread Starter [Mark Cutting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcutting/) * (@mcutting) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-two-factor-authentication/#post-10145351) * [@ultimatemembersupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ultimatemembersupport/), * > Hi [@mcutting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcutting/), > Unfortunately, we don’t support two factor authentication in the current version > of the plugin, however, I will discuss this option with the team. > Thanks for > letting us know. > Regards. * Any updates to this now that V2 of UM has been released ?
