This plugin enhances the default WordPress login security by adding a One-Time Password (OTP) verification step via email:
<ul>
<li>Users log in with their regular email/username and password.</li>
<li>If credentials are valid, an OTP is generated and emailed to the user.</li>
<li>A popup is shown on the same login page (<code>wp-login.php</code>) to enter the OTP.</li>
<li>Once the correct OTP is entered, the user is logged in.</li>
</ul>
To help you get started, there’s a comprehensive video tutorial available that guides you through the process of setting.
