Why Do You Need Shopify Google Authenticator?

Passwords alone are no longer enough to secure your Shopify store. The miniOrange Google Authenticator plugin adds Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), requiring users to verify their identity with a time-based one-time password.

This extra layer of protection helps block unauthorized access, prevent password-based attacks, and safeguard sensitive store and customer data. It also supports passwordless login, reducing password reset requests while keeping the login experience quick and secure.

What does Login through Google Authenticator prevent?

Password Spraying

Password spraying uses commonly used passwords to attempt access across many user accounts, unlike brute-force attacks that target a single account. By using Google Authenticator for Shopify login, users no longer need to create or remember passwords, effectively eliminating the risk of such password-based attacks.

Credentials Stuffing

Credential stuffing uses leaked username–password combinations to gain unauthorized access, rather than guessing credentials like brute-force attacks. Adding Google Authenticator to Shopify login provides an extra security layer, preventing attackers from accessing accounts even if credentials are stolen.

Brute Force Attack

A brute force attack repeatedly tries different username and password combinations to gain access. Using Google Authenticator for Shopify login makes this nearly impossible, as attackers would have to guess a time-based code that changes every 30 seconds, effectively blocking brute force attempts.

Faster Access to Shopify through Google Authenticator

Login into Shopify Store with Google Authenticator is all about convenience. There is no longer any need to create and remember passwords when authenticating an account in Shopify, and the simplified process improves the customer experience. It is compatible with all web and mobile apps, as well as all devices and browsers.

Shopify Google Authenticator enhances Authentication Security

Reusing passwords can lead to an insecure ecosystem by allowing hackers to access multiple accounts using the same password. If one account is compromised, all accounts that use the same password may be compromised as well. Shopify Google Authenticator uses security standards that work across a broad set of devices. It also reduces the attack vectors by eliminating the possibility of password-based attacks such as dictionary passwords, brute force, and credential stuffing attacks.
