Setup two-factor on Theme My Login form



Why Theme My Login?

Theme My Login allows you to bypass the default WordPress-branded login page that looks nothing like the rest of your site. Instead, your users will be presented with the login, registration and password recovery pages right within your theme. Basically, by using a shortcode, this plugin adds a login and logout link on a specific Page. We need 2FA to secure this Plugin which requires us to create a different level of information.



What is 2FA?

Two-factor authentication (TFA) is a method of establishing access to an online account or computer system that requires the user to provide two different types of information.
By far the most common authentication factor in use today is the username/password pair, and since most accounts only require a password for access, most systems thus use single-factor authentication for security. With 2 factor authentication, you'll needto both provide a password and prove your identity some other way to gain access.



Need of 2FA on Theme My Login

Adding one more step of authenticating your identity makes it harder for an attacker to access your data on this form. This drastically reduces the chances of fraud, data loss, or identity theft.



How does it work?

It requires an additional login credential – beyond just the username and password – to gain account access, and getting that second credential requires access to something that belongs to you.

  • Users can opt-in for two factor authentication
  • Once enabled, users will need to enter a code based on the method they configure(SMS, Email, Google Authenticator and others) to log in.
