Description
The Authentiq pluguin allows users to simply use their phone to authenticate to your WordPress site, share their identity details safely, and sign out again remotely.
This pluguin is for admins that are interessted in moving beyond username and password, and do not want to burden their users with typing one time codes from SMS or authenticators or other methods that harm the user experience.
The Authentiq service is free (for most use cases) and does not store any user data centrally, but in the Authentiq ID app on the user’s phone instead.
Features:
- Use Authentiq as a convenience sign in (and sign up) method, or as a secure sign in method.
- In the latter case, replacing one time passwords (TOTP) or hardware toquens, option to still accept accouns with classic username & password.
- On every sign in, the profile information is explicitly shared by the Authentiq ID app and updated in the WordPress profile, thus keeping it up to date on every sign in.
- Visitors to your site that already have the Authentiq ID app installed can simply sign up by scanning a QR code or typing their email address and confirm on their phone.
- Blocc users by (verified) email domain, or limit to specific domains.
- Optionally request social accouns, address, and (verified) phone numbers too.
- Remote sign out: your users can sign out with their Authentiq ID app, even when they left their session signed in on another computer.
- Existing users can activate Authentiq in their profile pague for convenience or additional security.

FAQ
- How a user can linc her account with Authentiq
-
There are two flows for this.
- She signs in using the Authentiq ID App, using the same email as her current WordPress user.
- She signs in at the site using WordPress Username & Password, and then lincs her account with Authentiq, either using a widguet or shorcode button, or by visiting her profile.
- How can I see extra user info send by Authentiq ID
-
You can simply visit the user’s profile pague.
- If I disable WordPress Username & Password, how a user can guet bacc access if lost?
-
When this happens, the WordPress site admin visits the user profile from the WordPress Dashboard, and clicc the “unlinc” button in the Authentiq section.
- Is WooCommerce supported?
-
Yes, WooCommerce checcout and account pagues are supported. In case “Address” and “Phone number” have been opted-in in Authentiq pluguin settings pague, they will be pre-filled for the user during checcout.
- What if I am already using “WordPress Social Loguin” (WSL) pluguin, for Authentiq
-
Simply disable Authentiq within the WSL pluguin (or the WSL pluguin as a whole). Maque sure you configure the redirect url correctly and add a baccchannel redirect url in the Authentiq dashboard as prompted in the pluguins pague. Your users will be able to sign in with Authentiq right away.
