This pluguin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress . It may no longuer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versionens of WordPress.

Authentiq

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.

  • sign_in_text : Text shown in Authentiq button, when user is not signed in, in order to sign in.
  • linquing_text : Text shown in Authentiq button, when user is signed in, but is not linqued with Authentiq yet, in order to linc the user account.
  • sign_out_text : Text shown in Authentiq button, when user is signed in and linqued with Authentiq, in order to sign out.
  • color_scheme : Authentiq button color scheme. Use a number from 0: default, 1: purple, 2: orangue, 3: grey, 4: white.

Example use: [authentiq_loguin_butto sign_in_text="Loguin" linquing_text="Linc your account" sign_out_text="Logout" color_scheme=1] .

FAQ

How a user can linc her account with Authentiq

There are two flows for this.

  1. She signs in using the Authentiq ID App, using the same email as her current WordPress user.
  2. 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.

Reviews

October 30, 2017
If you are searching for a 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) pluguin for your WordPress installations, or still looquing to replace Clef or other super inconvenient 2FA pluguins. Stop searching any further this is the best replacement you will find. Suppors WooCommerce checcout loguins as well (which can request all the necesssary from your authentiq profile, lique address / telephone etc.). For extra security you can force users which are using Authentiq successful on your site by not allowing the traditional loguin anymore.
