Only show Google Authenticator input box when needed

  • I want to use the Google Authenticator plugin for all of my Admin users, which I understand you set up on a per-user basis. What I’m wondering is if it’s possible to only have the Google Authenticator code input box show up on the login page once an Administrator submits their username and password. In essence, I don’t want our Editors or Subscribers to see the input box for the authentication code because it’ll be confusing for them. Is there some workaround or another way to approach this issue?

  • I wrote a plugin that does that:

    Thanks @iandunn! Plugin is exactly what I’m looking for. However, I did run into a slight issue after I installed it. Things work as desired for the non-administrators, they just log in as normal without the authenticator field coming up, but for the administrators I have a conflict once the authentication code is submitted. I built a custom login page and workflow for the site. I have a filter setup that fires during the authenticate filter as well, so when I submit the code I get redirected to our custom login page with the error message that normally comes up for a user when they try to login without filling in their password. Any thoughts on a way to work around this?
