<h3>WORDFENCE LOGIN SECURITY</h3>
<p>Wordfence Login Security contains a subset of the functionality found in the full Wordfence plugin: Two-factor Authentication, XML-RPC Protection, and Login Page CAPTCHA.</p>
<p><strong>This plugin is being discontinued on or around July 1, 2026.</strong></p>
<p>All of its features are already included in the main Wordfence plugin, which is also available to use for free. We recommend installing Wordfence to continue receiving updates, security improvements, and full functionality.</p>
<p><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/" rel="ugc">Install the full Wordfence plugin</a></p>
<h4>TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION</h4>
<ul>

<li>Use any TOTP-based authenticator app or service like Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password or FreeOTP.</li>
<li>Enable 2FA for any WordPress user role.</li>
<li>Completely free to use, no limits or restrictions of any kind.</li>
</ul>
<h4>LOGIN PAGE CAPTCHA</h4>
<ul>
<li>Easily enable Google ReCAPTCHA v3 on your login and registration pages.</li>
<li>Stops bots from logging in without inconveniencing your site visitors.</li>
<li>Robust protection against password guessing and credential stuffing attacks distributed across large IP pools</li>
</ul>
<h4>XML-RPC PROTECTION</h4>
<ul>
<li>XML-RPC is the biggest target for WordPress attacks, but is often overlooked.</li>
<li>Protect XML-RPC with 2FA or disable it altogether if it’s not needed.</li>
</ul>


Wordfence Login Security

The Plugin works and integrates nicely into wordfence security and wp itself. TOTP works great, and the captcha integration works too. Sadly it doesn't support multiple 2fa methods like TOTP & "backup codes" as well as email as backup. Other 2fa methods like U2F are not supported. This Plugin doesn't work with the yubico yubikey hardware keys. 

Good, but somewhat limited

Good compliment to Wordfence, but please add login URL obfuscation!

Because you do not do this either I take another plugin as well like WPS Hide Login, or I just take WP Cerber which does everything!

Great, but...

Easy to use


Does not include the ability to limit login attempts, add password complexity requirements, or anything that would comprise modern security best practices. It's strictly a 2FA plugin, which is done more simply and better by other plugins. It does work tho.


Too much load for a simple 2FA plugin

Secure your website with Wordfence Login Security, providing two-factor authentication, login and registration CAPTCHA, and XML-RPC protection.

<p><strong>SecureAuth Authenticator 2FA</strong> enhances your WordPress login security by requiring a time-based one-time password (TOTP) in addition to the regular username and password. The TOTP code is generated by an authenticator app on your mobile device, adding an extra layer of protection even if your password is compromised.</p>
<p>This plugin is lightweight, secure, and easy to use. It integrates directly into the user profile page to allow users to set up and manage their two-factor authentication with ease.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Adds a TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) field to the login form.</li>
<li>User-friendly 2FA setup available on each user’s profile page.</li>
<li>Generates secret keys and displays QR codes for scanning with mobile apps.</li>
<li>Compatible with apps like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy.</li>
<li>Secure handling with nonce verification and input sanitization.</li>
<li>No external libraries required (except Google Chart API for QR code).</li>
</ul>
