Secure login and ID validation for your website

Yoti is a great security/ID validation mobile phone app. This plugin allows users to login to your WordPress site using their Yoti account by employing 2-FA (2 factor authentication). Usually 2-FA is cumbersome and takes time, but this is quicker than anything else. You choose what information (name, email, avatar photo, tel, etc.) to read from Yoti and your users can login without having to remember one more username/password combo.

For the ultimate security solution, you could disable the WP login screen and use Yoti to login as admin, editor, etc. This way you beat brute-force attacks, keyloggers on public or compromised PCs, easy passwords (like 123456) and your users can login just with their mobile phones without having to remember complicated passwords. Just make sure that with a quick and easy way (e.g. renaming a file through FTP, or updating a value in MySQL) you can re-enable the login screen just in case the Yoti plug-in “breaks”. And all that security is free.
