<p><strong>Email OTP Authenticator</strong> is a lightweight authentication plugin for WordPress that combines passwordless login, quick registration, optional 2FA and session protection into one flexible solution.</p>
<p>Built using independent security layers instead of a monolithic system, the plugin loads only the required components during use to keep runtime execution compact and avoid external service dependency.</p>
<h3>Delivering these key benefits:</h3>

<li>Increase signup conversions</li>
<li>Reduce password reset requests</li>
<li>Strengthen multi-layered website security</li>
<li>Enhance user trust with secure authentication</li>
</ul>
<p>Designed to make WordPress authentication faster, smarter and more secure.</p>
<h3>Authentication Layers</h3>

* Adaptive 2FA Enforcement<br />
* Suspicious Activity Guard</p>
