How to set up Remember (Whitelist) IP 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 setup

Let’s see how an administrator set up Remember (Whitelist) IP for users.

1. Give Users an Option to ‘Remember (Whitelist) their IP’

• Go to the 2FA Configuration tab in the miniOrange 2-Factor Authentication plugin, and then click on the Advanced Features subtab.
• Select the checkbox to enable the Remember IP option.



• Select the radio button to enable the option “Give users an option to ‘Remember (Whitelist)’ their IP”. When this option is enabled, the user has the option to remember (whitelist) their IP address during login.
• Click on the Save Settings button.



• Enter your login credentials and click on the Login button.



• Enter the 2FA code generated in the Google Authenticator app. (I have already set up the Google Authenticator method.)
• Click on the Validate button.



• Click on the YES button to Remember (whitelist) the IP.

2. Add IPs for ‘Whitelisting’

• If you want to remember multiple IPs, enable the option Add IPs for 'Whitelisting'.




Here, we provide two options:

1. Add the IPs you want to whitelist for 2FA

In this option, you can add multiple IPs separated by commas, which means you can whitelist multiple IPs for 2FA at the same time.

• Select the checkbox to enable Add the IPs you want to whitelist for 2FA.
• Enter the IPs you want to whitelist for 2FA, separated by commas.
• Then, click on the Save Settings button.


• All whitelisted IPs entered will not be prompted for 2FA.




2. Add range of IPs to whitelist

In this option, you can enter an IP range, which means all IPs within that range can be whitelisted for 2FA.

• Select the checkbox to enable Add range of IPs to whitelist.
• Enter the IP range and click on the Save Settings button.


• All whitelisted IPs within the entered range will not be prompted for 2FA.
