Featurerich and working flawlessly with Theme My Login
by itspetrus·6 days ago·1 reply

Hi,

I just want to add that even the free version is featurerich and working flawlessly with Theme My Login. Other similar plugins can learn from this. As far as I’m concerned, WP 2FA is the best.

Best regards,
Peter

I had quite a few detailed questions regarding setup, reporting, email automation, white labeling and translations. Every question was answered clearly and in depth.

This plugin is a real game changer for my website => even in the free basic version. The upgrade will definitely follow soon.

Highly recommended! I’m very happy to be able to offer 2FA to my online community in such an easy way.

Thank you so much! 🥳🙏🎉

Responsive support team

Several of our clients employ this plugin for 2FA. Some of these clients have unusual or advanced requirements, and the support team has certainly gone the extra mile—including adding an additional filter to the plugin code for more advanced configuration—to help address these needs.
