Front End TFA

Quick update, created a new user account at subscriber level and receive the same error, which tells me that none of our members are currently able to login to the site via the frontend

I get ‘invalid user or password’ error.

This isn’t coming from the two-factor plugin… the two-factor plugin doesn’t get involved in verifying usernames or passwords. It only gets involved later, after WP has already verified the username and password, to verify the two-factor entry. So, if you’re seeing a message like this, it’s coming from somewhere else.

So username and password are correct. When TFA is disabled I can login at both backend and frontend without any problem. ONLY when TFA is enabled does the username and pw come back as invalid at frontend and pops the TFA prompt correctly at backend. I thought at frontend login, username and pw would be valid prompting TFA window to kick in. Obv not.
Front end login is via:- [wp-members page=”members-area”]
I’m at a complete loss with it

Hi,

The WP Members login form is a bespoke form of their own, that doesn’t include the standard WordPress hooks that allow another plugin (such as this one) to hook in. I can investigate what’s possible, but it’d be best if they used the standard hooks. An example of a plugin that does it correctly is “Theme My Login” – as a work-around, you could use that – it has settings so that it can also redirect logged-in users to the WP Members members area (or any other page) upon login.
