FAQ

I am trying to setup the Authenticator app, but always get “Wrong code, try again” message?

Please make sure that the time on your web-server corresponds to the world UTC time. GMT offset doesn’t matter.
You can also set larger value for the “Authenticator Time Window” option on the plugin settings page to allow some time drifting.

I have enabled the “Email” verification method and/or “Failed Attempt Notifications” option on the profile page, but no emails are coming?

Please follow the instructions below:

1. Email messages can be marked as spam on the server.
2. Perhaps email sending is not set. You should install an extra plugin called SMTP by BestWebSoft and configure it. Afterwards you should open the “Send A Test Email” tab on the plugin settings page, check an option “Display log”, send a test email and you will see if the plugin logs have errors.

2-Step Verification not displayed on my Login form. Why?

Probably, your theme uses custom Login form. Follow the next steps in order to add 2-Step Verification to a custom Login form on your WordPress website:
1. Install the 2-Step Verification plugin and activate it.
2. Open the file (PHP or HTML) with the form (where you would like to add 2-Step Verification to).
3. Insert the following line to display the 2-Step Verification.

For PHP:

do_action( 'gglstpvrfctn_custom_login_form' );

For HTML:

<?php do_action( 'gglstpvrfctn_custom_login_form' ); ?>

I have some problems with the plugin’s work. What Information should I provide to receive proper support?

Please make sure that the problem hasn’t been discussed yet on our forum (https://support.bestwebsoft.com). If no, please provide the following data along with your problem’s description:

1. the link to the page where the problem occurs
2. the name of the plugin and its version. If you are using a pro version – your order number.
3. the version of your WordPress installation
4. copy and paste into the message your system status report. Please read more here: Instruction on System Status

Reviews

An essential plugin which works great

Liam O’Donnell March 20, 2018

I’m a fan of Google Authenticator, so was very pleased to find this plugin. The only thing I would add is the ability to write down a ‘backup code’ when enabling 2FA – not a big problem, since you print or save the QR code somewhere safe, which effectively serves as the backup code.

Free Version Works Flawlessly

blippee September 9, 2017

Had a problem with another 2-step verification plugin after updating to php 7.0. This one works great. I’m only using the free version but it’s all I need for now. I also like that the user interface blends nicely with my wp login page. Set up is easy and simple as well.
