Descrição

The Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress gives you two-factor authentication using the Google Authenticator app for Android/iPhone/Blackberry.

If you are security aware, you may already have the Google Authenticator app installed on your smartphone, using it for two-factor authentication on Gmail/Dropbox/Lastpass/Amazon etc.

The two-factor authentication requirement can be enabled on a per-user basis. You could enable it for your administrator account, but log in as usual with less privileged accounts.

If You need to maintain your blog using an Android/iPhone app, or any other software using the XMLRPC interface, you can enable the App password feature in this plugin,
but please note that enabling the App password feature will make your blog less secure.

Instalação

Make sure your webhost is capable of providing accurate time information for PHP/WordPress, ie. make sure a NTP daemon is running on the server.
Install and activate the plugin.
Enter a description on the Users -> Profile and Personal options page, in the Google Authenticator section.
Scan the generated QR code with your phone, or enter the secret manually, remember to pick the time based one.
You may also want to write down the secret on a piece of paper and store it in a safe place.
Remember to hit the Update profile button at the bottom of the page before leaving the Personal options page.
That’s it, your WordPress blog is now a little more secure.

FAQ

Can I use Google Authenticator for WordPress with the Android/iPhone apps for WordPress?: Yes, you can enable the App password feature to make that possible, but notice that the XMLRPC interface isn’t protected by two-factor authentication, only a long password.
I want to update the secret, should I just scan the new QR code after creating a new secret?: No, you’ll have to delete the existing account from the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone before you scan the new QR code, that is unless you change the description as well.
I am unable to log in using this plugin, what’s wrong ?: The Google Authenticator verification codes are time based, so it’s crucial that the clock in your phone is accurate and in sync with the clock on the server where your WordPress installation is hosted.
If you have an Android phone, you can use an app like ClockSync to set your clock in case your Cell provider doesn’t provide accurate time information
Another option is to enable “relaxed mode” in the settings for the plugin, this will enable more valid codes by allowing up to a 4 min. timedrift in each direction.
I have several users on my WordPress installation, is that a supported configuration ?: Yes, each user has his own Google Authenticator settings.
During installation I forgot the thing about making sure my webhost is capable of providing accurate time information, I’m now unable to login, please help.: If you have SSH or FTP access to your webhosting account, you can manually delete the plugin from your WordPress installation,
just delete the wp-content/plugins/google-authenticator directory, and you’ll be able to login using username/password again.
I don’t own a Smartphone, isn’t there another way to generate these secret codes ?: Yes, there is a webbased version here : https://gauth.apps.gbraad.nl/
Github project here : https://github.com/gbraad/gauth
Can I create backupcodes ?: No, but if you’re using an Android smartphone you can replace the Google Authenticator app with Authenticator Plus.
It’s a really nice app that can import your existing settings, sync between devices and backup/restore using your sd-card.
It’s not a free app, but it’s well worth the money.
Any known incompatabilities ?: Yes, the Man-in-the-middle attack/replay detection code isn’t compatible with the test/setup mode in the “Stop spammer registration plugin”,
please remember to remove the “Check credentials on all login attempts” checkmark before installing my plugin.

Works! Uses WordPress UI, is super lightweight, not overdesigned, and is trivial to set up. Great job!

Fatal error: Uncaught Firebase\JWT\BeforeValidException: Cannot handle token prior to 2023-04-30T20:30:33+0000 in ...\one-tap-google-sign-in\includes\vendor\firebase\php-jwt\src\JWT.phpI understand it requires synchronization, but you need to handle this error properly. Cheers

One of my sites got hacked and some spam blogs posted. Don't know how they got access but decided to add 2FA as a preventative. Implemented for all authors. Works out of the box, simple interface without lots of bells and whistles.

Since a few days the plugin stopped working. It used to work perfect. Users who have Google Authenticator activated can't login anymore. They get the message that their username/password is invalid while it isn't. They're able to login again when I deactivate Google Authenticator in their profile. Is this a known bug, if so, how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Great little app. Easy to use and install, does the job. Saves me from having to use Wordfence, which is much resource heavier.

This plugin works fine with PHP 7.4 and WP 6.0, if you're using them. However, 7.4 ceases all support 28th Nov, 2022. At the time of my comment, this is 5 months away. Time is ticking. PHP 8.0 is in use on my server with WP 6.0. While WP works without issue, the plugin does not. Occasionally I get failures to authenticate. To get around this I have to login to the database and manually disable this plugin. The error log reports "Undefined array key" over and over. There is a different documented bug that has been solved by users you can find under the "Support" tab. The GitHub repo has gone untouched since 8th December, 2020. I fear this plugin has been abandoned. Unfortunate really. It's dead simple to use with none of the extra stuff you don't want that other plugins cram in.
