Descripción

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.

Preguntas frecuentes

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.: Si tiene acceso SSH o FTP a tu cuenta de alojamiento web, puede eliminar manualmente el plugin de tu instalación de WordPress,
Simplemente elimina el directorio wp-content/plugins/google-authenticator y podrás volver a iniciar sesión con nombre de usuario/contraseña.
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, pero si estás utilizando un teléfono inteligente Android, puedes reemplazar la aplicación Google Authenticator con autenticador Plus.
Es una aplicación realmente agradable que puede importar los ajustes existente, sincronizar entre dispositivos y realizar copias de seguridad y restaurar utilizando tu tarjeta de memoria SD.
No es una aplicación gratuita, pero vale la pena el dinero.
Any known incompatabilities ?: Sí, el código de detección de ataque y repetición de Man-in-the-middle no es compatible con el modo de configuración y prueba en el «plugin Stop spammer registration», por favor recuerda de desactivar la casilla de verificación «Verificar las credenciales en todos los intentos de acceso» antes de instalar mi plugin.

Great plugin, but I wish to use a QR code for scanning when I log in.

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.
