<p>DB Solution – 2FA is a practical login security module for WordPress sites that need stronger access control without forcing every protection on by default.</p>
<p>It helps site owners add email OTP verification, protect the standard login path, monitor successful logins, review failed attempts, and block unwanted IP addresses from one focused DB Solution panel.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>🔐 Email 2FA – Sends a one-time code after the password step, using the WordPress email system already configured on the site.</li>
<li>🧭 Custom Login URL – Replaces the standard login path with a private slug chosen by the site owner.</li>
<li>👀 Login Monitoring – Sends an email notification after successful access, so unusual logins are easier to notice.</li>
<li>🧱 IP Blocking – Blocks single IP addresses and CIDR ranges from the plugin settings panel.</li>
<li>🧾 Access Attempt Log – Shows login attempts with credential, IP address, browser, date, and result, without storing passwords.</li>
<li>⏱️ OTP Countdown – Shows how long the verification code remains valid on the 2FA screen.</li>
<li>🛡️ Strict Mode – Can bind the OTP check to the same IP address and browser that requested it.</li>
<li>🎛️ Modular Controls – Every protection stays disabled after activation until the site owner chooses what to enable.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why It Helps</h4>
<p>Most login security tools enable too much at once or hide the important choices. DB Solution – 2FA keeps the workflow simple: activate the plugin, confirm that email delivery works, then enable only the protections the site actually needs.</p>
<p>This makes it useful for client sites, staging sites, and small business WordPress installs where login security must be stronger without making daily access confusing.</p>
<h4>Email Requirement</h4>
<p>Email-based 2FA requires a working WordPress email system. Before enabling it, send a test email from the site and confirm that users can receive the OTP code.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress: 6.0 through 7.0.</li>
<li>PHP: 8.2 or later. Tested on PHP 8.4.18 in the local WordPress 7 test site.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Multi factor authentication ( 2FA / MFA )</h3>
<p>You can configure multiple WordPress 2FA methods like google authenticator, OTP over Email, OTP over SMS, etc, and choose any one method from a list of configured methods to use as 2FA for your WordPress website. Multi-factor authentication is helpful for cases such as when you do not have your phone and cannot access your TOTP app for login. You can then use other MFA methods like OTP over Email to login.</p>
<p>Check all the features other than MFA ( 2FA ) here: <a href="https://plugins.miniorange.com/2-factor-authentication-for-wordpress-wp-2fa#pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">miniOrange Website</a>.</p>
<h4>Why do you need to register for Multi-Factor authentication?</h4>
<p>Multi-Factor authentication uses miniOrange APIs to communicate between your WP website and miniOrange. To keep this communication secure, we ask you to register and assign API keys specific to your account. This way your account and users’ calls can only be accessed by API keys assigned to you.<br />
Adding to this, you can also use the same account on multiple applications and your users do not have to maintain multiple accounts on WordPress 2FA like Google Authenticator. Single code generated in Google Authenticator will be enough to login to all sites. With this, you can also achieve sync of two factor authentication across multiple sites. This helps to provide a secure WP 2FA cloud solution.</p>
