Reviews

Great 2FA plugin

I needed to secure my WordPress login. This plugin was straightforward and I’ve had no issues with install or use.

Amazing Plugin

Everything is working great. I actually have security plugin ‘Wordfence’ but 2FA is premium feature.

I found your premium price is more reasonable and effective. Easy to install and implement on my wordpress site.

Thanks for great product.

It Works!!

It was very quick to configure and activate. It is working now. I decided for a two factor authentication after my blog was hacked. Don’t wait until yours is.

Works perfect, support super!

It works correct with any error. I’m satisfied with it. I use it more than 1 yer for two my websites by paying for licence. I worth money paid! Also, I want to say big thank you to support team which answered my question rapidly and fully correct. Strongly recommend this plugin and company!

So simple and perfect

This plugin is amazing, the free version give a perfect security for one user but for a low price you can have 2 user and many more option security very easy to install. If you need help after install, send a message by your wordpress and the team respond very fast. BRAVO
