How to set up Passwordless login 2FA with the 2-Factor Authentication plugin for WordPress?

Pre-requisites : Download And Installation

• You need to configure the 2FA plugin before following this guide.

Getting started with the Passwordless Login 2FA

Let’s see how an administrator setup passwordless login 2FA for users.

Follow the steps below to set up Passwordless Login 2FA

• Go to the 2FA Configurations tab in the miniOrange 2-Factor Authentication plugin, and then click on the Advanced Features subtab.



• Scroll down to the “Passwordless Login with 2FA” feature and select the login option.
• Here, we provide two options:

1. Username + Password + 2FA: In this option, after you enter your username and password, you will be prompted for 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). This option is enabled by default, so no additional setup is required to activate it. (In this, entering the password is mandatory.)
2. Username + 2FA: In this option, you will see the option to log in using Username + 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication), which is useful if you no longer want to remember your password.

(I have selected the second option in this.)

• Then, click on the Save Settings button.



• Go to your default login form, you will see the option to log in using Username + 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication).
• You can log in using either Username/Email + Password + 2FA or Username/Email + 2FA, whichever method you prefer.



• If you want to hide the default login form, select the checkbox for the "I want to hide the default login form" option.
• Then, click on the Save Settings button.



• Go to your login form, and you can see that your default login form has been hidden.
• You can now log in using only your Username/Email + 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication).
