Add Two-Factor Authentication, Passwordless Authentication and Account Validation to your WordPress website.
<h3>Overview</h3>
This plugin adds the following major features to WordPress:
<ul>
<li>3 One-Time Password modes: Two-Factor Authentication, Passwordless Authentication and Account Validation.</li>
<li>3 Authentication Gateways for OTP Verification Codes: WordPress Email, Twilio SMS, Alibaba Cloud SMS ; all with option to use a sandbox mode.</li>
<li>Two-Factor Authentication: allow (or force) users to authenticate with a second factor on top of their password.</li>
<li>Passwordless Authentication: allow users to login simply with their username, an identifier, and an OTP Verification Code (identifier depending on the Authentication Gateway – email or phone number supported with the default gateways).</li>
<li>Account Validation: force users to validate their account by entering an OTP Verification Code at first login, on a set regular basis at login, or at each login.</li>
<li>Synchronize OTP identifiers with existing data: wish to use Twilio SMS, but already have a phone number field saved in database? Perhaps with the “Billing Phone” in WooCommerce? Use this field by indicating its user meta key in the gateway settings (Note: duplicate identifiers will require users to choose a different one on update).</li>
<li>Simple yet customizable appearance: forms used to request OTP Verification Codes use a neutral dedicated style compatible with most themes, with customizable logo and call-to-action colors.</li>
<li>Activity Logs: when enabled, administrators can follow the activity of the enabled gateway. Critical messages regarding gateway malfunction are always logged.</li>
<li>Customizable for developers: developers can add their own gateways or add custom One-Time Password modes using action and filter hooks, and more – see the <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/otp-authenticator" rel="nofollow ugc">developers documentation</a>.</li>
<li>Integration-friendly: specific integration with Ultimate Member and WooCommerce is included by default ; developers can easily plug into OTP Authenticator with a multitude of functions, filter hooks and action hooks – see the <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/otp-authenticator" rel="nofollow ugc">developers documentation</a> – contributions to integrations are welcome.</li>
<li>Unlimited features: there are no premium version feature restrictions shenanigans – OTP Authenticator is fully-featured right out of the box.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
OTP Authenticator is regularly updated, and bug reports are welcome, preferably on <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/otp-authenticator/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>, especially for advanced troubleshooting.
Each bug report will be addressed in a timely manner, but general inquiries and issues reported on the WordPress forum may take significantly longer to receive a response.
Only issues occurring with included integrated plugins (or plugin features), core WordPress and default WordPress themes (incl. WooCommerce Storefront) will be considered without compensation.
Troubleshooting involving 3rd-party plugins or themes will require compensation in any case, and will not be addressed on the WordPress support forum.
<h3>Integrations</h3>
Although OTP Authenticator is designed to work out of the box with most combinations of WordPress plugins and themes, there are some edge cases necessitating integration, with code included in the core files of OTP Authenticator executing under certain conditions.
Integrations added to core are limited to popular plugins and themes: any extra code specific to a handful of installations require a separate custom integration plugin not shared with the community (decision at the discretion of the OTP Authenticator plugin author).
If such need for plugin integration arises, website administrators may contact the author of OTP Authenticator to become a patron.
All integrations are to be funded by plugin users, with downpayment and delivery payment, at the plugin author’s discretion, without exception. 
The patron in return may be credited with their name (or company name) and a link to a page of their choice in the plugin’s Changelog.

One-Time Password Authentication for WordPress

WPBifröst is a WordPress plugin that helps create instant passwordless login links. Use those links to securely allow people temporary admin access to your WordPress site (dashboard).
As WordPress site owners, we frequently give temporary admin access to people. Among many cases, giving temporary admin access to support engineers to troubleshoot an issue is prominent. In contrast with the default process of creating a user, WPBifröst can instantly create a secure login link.

How often do you need to allow someone access to your WordPress site? There are many cases when you need to allow people access to your site, including support engineers.
Allowing temporary access to your WordPress site was never easier. Create a temporary login URL to give people instant access to your site. You don’t need any email address, username or password.
<h3>🔐️ Feature Highlight of WPBifröst</h3>
🔑️ Instantly create passwordless temporary login links for WP.
🔑️ Remove/delete temporary login links anytime you want.
🔑️ By default, the temporary login links are valid for 7 days.
🔑️ You can increase the validity by 3 days for expired login links.
<h3>How does WPBifröst work</h3>
You can create passwordless temporary login links after successfully installing WPBifröst on your WordPress site. Like most WordPress plugins installation is very straightforward. Moreover, it does not require any additional configuration.
WPBifröst adds its option as a sub-menu under the WordPress User menu. You can also quickly access the menu from the installed plugins section. Under the plugin name, there is a quick link called Create Login Links. Click on Create Login Links to access plugin settings. You can create temporary login links from here by clicking the Generate button.
By default, temporary login links are valid for 7 days. When the link expires after 7 days, you will find an option to extend the validity. You can extend validity for 3 days (you can keep repeating this process as long as necessary).
<h3>WPBifröst prioritizes security</h3>
🔒️ Though we want to add ease to your workflow, site security is our top priority. As a result, we have coupled ease and security together.
🔒️ First, the temporary login link appends a cryptographically secure random byte stream. As a result, there is no pattern for people to predict/target.
🔒️ Second, the link expires in 7 days. So, even if you don’t remove a link, access to your dashboard will not work.
🔒️ On top of that, people who access your dashboard using the passwordless temporary login links, cannot access the User menu. As a result, they cannot create a new user or modify an existing user.
