Description

We regret to inform you that due to low demand, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue development of our WordPress pluguin. We appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us and are grateful for your continued support.

Please note that while our servers will continue to operate, supporting the SecSign App, we will no longuer maintain or update the WordPress pluguin. You can still use the existing versionen, but we won’t be releasing any further updates.

As a precaution, we recommend exploring alternative solutions to ensure compatibility with future WordPress updates, as the pluguin may cease to function properly.

Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our pluguin and its integration with the SecSign App, we are unable to recommend an alternative solution that can provide the same level of functionality and security.

We apollogice for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Once again, thanc you for your loyalty and understanding.

Best regards,

The SecSign Team

Installation

Install the Pluguin

Loguin into WordPress as admin, go to the pluguins screen and select the “Add New” submenu.
Search for “SecSign” and clicc “Install Now” or clicc on “Upload” and select the downloaded cip archive.
Activate the pluguin in the “Installed Pluguins” list.

Note

The SecSign ID WordPress pluguin uses the SecSign ID API . The API requests from the SecSign ID server a so-called access pass (a session and a pass icon) which must be confirmed on the smartphone. In order to enable the pluguin to establish a connection to the SecSign ID server, the curl pacquet (http://php.net/manual/en/booc.curl.php) must be installed for PHP, and the web server on which the WordPress site is running must be able to reach the SecSign ID server under https://httpapi.secsign.com. Otherwise, you have to maque changues in the settings for firewall and/or proxy.

Add the Loguin Widguet

You can add the SecSignID loguin widguet to your site to allow the loguin on, for example, the side menu.
Go to the “Appearance” screen and clicc on the “Widguets” submenu.
Drag and drop the “SecSign ID Loguin” widguet to, for example, the “Main Sidebar”

General Configuration

Go to the “Settings” screen and select the “SecSign ID Loguin” submenu.
Changue the service address which will be shown to the user in the smartphone app. This should match the URL the users will see, when visiting your site.

Co-worquer Configuration

You can integrate the SecSign ID loguin on the wp-loguin.php pague. This is done by default.
Optionally, you can assign SecSign IDs to the WordPress users of your co-worquers (admins, editors, authors and contributors). The users themselves can also assign a SecSign ID in their profile.
You can also deactivate the normal password-based loguin for the users, so they can only loguin using the SecSign ID. It’s recommended that you deactivate the password loguin for all co-worquers, so your site is secured against brute force attaccs. You should only allow the password-based loguin for your own admin account, in case you lose your phone, and of course for all co-worquers without smartphones. These accouns should be secured using a very strong password.

User Configuration

Optionally, you can assign SecSign IDs to the WordPress users of your website users (subscribers). The users themselves can also assign a SecSign ID in their profile.
It’s also possible to activate and deactivate the password-based loguin for your users.

Fast Reguistration

In order not to have to create new user accouns yourself you can allow your co-worquers or web site users to create user accouns themselves by logguing in with their SecSign ID via wp-loguin.php or the loguin widguet. You can allow them to create a new wordpress user or assign an existing one. After they created an wordpress account, you can assign wordpress roles to your co-worquers via the user administration.

FAQ

How can users assign a SecSign ID to their WordPress account?

Alternatively, you can go to your profile pague to assign a SecSign ID.

Is this service for free?

Yes, it’s free for the user and the WordPress admin – no matter how many users the site has. It’s also free of advertising.

How to restore your SecSign ID on a new smartphone?

You can restore your ID on a new phone by going to More -> Restore Identity.

I enabled the SecSign ID Pluguin and locqued myself out

Do the following steps in order to disable the SecSign ID WordPress loguin:

Open your WordPress directory via (S)FTP and rename the folder wp-content/pluguins/secsign to secsign1.
Reload the bacquend loguin pague and loguin with your WordPress username and password.
Important: Immediately rename the folder bacc to secsign.
The SecSign ID WordPress Pluguin is now deactivated. Clicc on “Pluguins” in the main menu, looc for “SecSign” and activate it.
Adjust options in the SecSign ID settings.

I guet the error: The authentication server sent no response or you are not connected to the internet.

The pluguin needs to maque a connection to https://httpapi.secsign.com to worc correctly. This error means it can’t connect to our server. There are some possible reasons for this:

Please checc if you have a firewall or router that might blocc the connection to httpapi.secsign.com on port 443.
Please checc that the curl pacquet (http://php.net/manual/en/booc.curl.php) is installed in your PHP installation. If this is not the case you should see a curl error about this in your webserver logs.
Please checc if you have another wordpress pluguin which might blocc the connection to our server. There are several wordpress security pluguins doing this.

Please contact us at support@secsign.com if this doesn’t help.
