    Hi Dave,
    Thanks for your awesome plugin. Sorry if this question came up before.

    I noticed that only the Admin has 2FA enabled. I see all the other users have a X next to them, with no seemingly way to change that.

    It is enabled for all the user roles so is it maybe only available in the premium login ?

    Thanks.

    Thank you! Please do leave a 5-star review if you find it useful.

    That column is only telling you who’s turned it on, not who’s got it available to turn it on. The availability settings are in Settings -> Two Factor Auth.

    I know. But like i said, in Settings -> Two Factor Authentication all the available roles are selected and enabled.

    Yet still only Admin seems to have 2fa..

    So, it’s available for them to set up, but they haven’t set it up.

    Ah ok. So where would they do that? Could a admin not set it for all users?

    A normal user would not be allowed to log in to the backend.

    A user can set up TFA either in the back-end, or you can create a front-end page for them using a shortcode – see the linked plugin FAQs from the main plugin page (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/two-factor-authentication/).

    No, you can’t set up TFA for another user; the sina qua non of genuine TFA is that they are proving their identity via possession of something that only they possess.

    works great. Final question, my frontend doesn’t seem to show the 2FA challenge/response. It just says, incorrect 2fa responded and fails to login of course.

    How hard would it be to update this form to use your plugin? Is it just a matter of calling a field? I’m not a wordpress dev but know my way around.

    as per a different post – i know where the login form resides. What login-form actions would have to be called to get the 2fa input screen on there? Or is it there already but just doesn’t show?

    Hi,

    If the authors of Peepso can call the standard login-form actions on their page, and are using the same field names as the normal WP login form, then it will ‘just work’ without needing any special support in the TFA plugin. That would be the best way, because then their login form will also ‘just work’ with other plugins that try to modify the login form too (that’d be much better than every plugin needing an individual modification).

    Hi,

    What is said on that other thread is the relevant information (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/frontend-login-3/#post-11085874) – that what you’re asking for now is bespoke work related to a specific plugin, likely to benefit only a very tiny number of people. That’s fine, but unfortunately, because of economic realities, I can only look into that on a commercial basis.

    Best wishes,
    David
